5th Quarter

In my ministry one of my plans/visions for this school year was to host a 5th Quarter. Some of you may be asking what is 5th Quarter, well I'm glad you asked. There are 4 quarters in a football game, and 5th Quarter is an event held immediately following the football game. On this Friday night, the 13th I have invited as many of the Royal Palm Beach High school students as I could to come to my 5th Quarter Luau! I have partnered with First Baptist Church of Royal Palm Beach to host this event. The church is perfectly located across the street from the school and should provide for an easy find for post-game entertainment.
I remember 5th Quarter when I was in high school, my youth pastor did it every Friday night after the football games. It was a lot of fun, and a great -free hang out. My hope is to do this next year for most if not all home football games and I'm praying that the school will let me hold it there in the gym. My prayer and challenge to my Campus Life students has been to get 100 students to the 5th Quarter Luau. This past week Campus Life had its highest attendence to date and I'm hoping that means that the word is getting out about Campus Life. I'm very excited about how God is moving and helping me create relationships with students, as well as the school as a whole. Please pray for me and all of the last minute details that need to come together. I am really looking forward this event! I look forward to updating next week with the wonderful things that God is going to do this weekend!
