As strange as it sounds, this Bears fan was happy to see the Packers win last night. I just didn't want to see the Steelers get another Super Bowl...Our Youth Super Bowl party was a blast of ping pong, hanging out, fooseball and food as we put the big game up on the big screen. (Not to mention our staple food for the evening, McDonalds nuggets!) Each student brought in a bag of canned food items as admission to the party, which will be donated to the Souper Bowl of Caring organization to meet the needs of individuals and families in need.
At halftime we paused to discuss fastest growing criminal activity in our world today: human trafficking. With the big game, some organizations have used this as a platform to bring more attention to this incredibly tragedy of our human condition. After watching the below clip, students had decided that during the second half we would pause during commerical breaks to pray for victims, oppressors, and how God is calling us to respond. It was a powerful time of crying out to God and it was my highlight for the evening.
