Hot Dogs, Balloons, and the Cross

Kristina here! Tonight at club, the energy was flowing! First, we started off with the mixer under the name of “The Balloon Rompin-Stomp Challenge!” It was awesome!!!! Each student tied a balloon to their ankle and proceeded in attempting to pop the balloon of the other students’ to be the last one standing. Jamie Dikih won with ease. Afterwards, we continued with the schedule of a game called “A Heart of Stone and a Hotdog.” Basically, two pairs of students slapped a hotdog across the other’s face in attempts to make them laugh first. It was pretty funny to say the least. Raffle, the Beatle’s classic “Hey Jude,” and a plethora of giggles: tonight’s club was light-hearted and silly. All that to say, the mood swiftly changed in the juxtaposition of Reid’s talk on, you guessed it, the Crucifixion. He began with a music video by Tenth Avenue North, titled “You are More.” It was powerful. He continued in explaining what sin was and how despite our inability to hit the mark of perfection, Christ came to earth to take the blame by dying on the cross. I think that it really set the mood for serious reflection. Reid then answered questions, and we wrapped up the time by heading over to LimeBerry to eat fro yo and have a stinking good time in a game of hacky sack! Oo Oooo! 
     Special Thanks to Colliers for a phenomenal dinner of grilled cheese and homemade chicken soup!! And to the Butlers as always for their incredible support of us week after week!!
