Jr. High FNL: Chocolate Night

Aaron OsborneEvent Updates, Youth MinistryOctober 10, 2012 Leave a comment0

Jr. High Friday Night Live events (FNL) are fun, safe events we hold monthly where our teens feel comfortable inviting their friends, and the Gospel and the truth about Christ is clearly presented.

On September 14th, we started off the school year in delicious fashion with Chocolate Night.  We had around 140 students with lots of friends and consumed approximately 10 dozen brownies, 12 Costco-sized bottles of Hershey’s syrup, 15 lbs of M&M’s, 2 lbs of chocolate chips, 12 tubs of chocolate frosting, 24 lbs of Hershey’s bars, 4 pounds of chocolate covered pretzels, and 25 pounds of fruit dipped in chocolate. Now when I say “consumed,” let me explain that probably only 3/4 of that was actually eaten. The rest got smeared all over the students as we played all sorts of chocolate themed games.  (As you might imagine, we are incredibly grateful for the amazing cleaning staff at RBC.)

In the middle of the mess, we also got to share the beauty of the Gospel.  God created mankind in absolutely perfect relationship with Him, but our sin has separated us from God.  No matter what good things we do, we can never make things right with God again.  It is like a bowl of chocolate brownie batter with dog poop mixed in.  No matter how many other good things you add (e.g., chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, whipped cream), no one wants to eat poop brownies.

That is what is so amazing about Christ.  He doesn’t say, “Do good things, and I will forgive you.”  Instead, He gives us Christ’s righteousness when we believe.  Praise the Lord for the many who heard the Gospel and for the 15 students that indicated decisions that evening.  Please be in prayer for our students to fully understand the forgiveness and life we have through Christ.

Below is a highlight video from all the chocolate festivities and a special interview we had with world renowned chocolate artist, Ned Wonka!
