We will kick off our Color Group Challenge at 4:30. It’s a little different than last year, so read here for information.
Your color group will be sent to a designated area to complete all challenges. You will be assigned a Launch Committee Member to your group to oversee your challenge and keep your time. Your color group will have a box at your location that will have all the supplies needed to complete all of the challenges. Your committee member will briefly explain the rules and how the challenge will work. When they say go, they will begin a timer and your team will begin trying to complete the challenges as quickly as possible.
Challenges must be completed one at a time. THEY CANNOT BE DONE MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME. Make sure the committee member is observing and approves the completion of each challenge.
Once your group has completed all of the challenges, your committee member will take one individual from your group to meet with Daniel to turn in your groups time and they will attempt the impossible shot. If they make the impossible shot, they will take even more time off of your final time. The goal is to have the shortest time of all the groups. Points will be given towards the Raft Draft for later in the week!
The goal for this is to have fun, to work as a team, and to try and spread the work around and make sure that everybody that wants to gets a chance to participate. We hope you enjoy your time competing in Opening Challenge 2023. Good Luck and Godspeed!!
The locations are as follows:
Red Team - Annex
Blue Team - Tabernacle
Yellow Team - Cedar
Green Team - Lodge
Purple Team - Huff
Orange Team - Dogwood
Here's an overview of Rusty's message for tonight:
“Think Carefully About Your Ways” Haggai 1:1-11, 2:6-7
Big Idea - The people of God neglected the temple of God (which represented His power and presence in their lives). This message will challenge students to consider the ways they have neglected their relationship with the Lord. The invitation is to leave their “houses” behind and restore the house of the Lord- rebuild their relationship with Him.
Feel free to use the following discussion questions during your church group share time tonight after worship:
1. What are some distractions that keep us from experiencing God’s power and presence in our lives?
2. How can we be intentional about seeking God’s presence daily?
3. What daily rhythms help us stay connected to Jesus?
We have merch! If you or your students want some Launch branded items, including custom colors for your color group, check out our merch table in the foyer of the Tabernacle.
The following list is the Church Group Meeting Locations for after Worship Services. Please make sure you are familiar with where your assigned location is before church group time tonight (check it out before dark). We have a lot of churches and not a lot of indoor meeting spaces, so we had to combine some spaces and put some groups outdoors. Please don't take another group's assigned location. If you have questions let us know!
