stretch.............

so we had openeing day of stretch last night, and let me tell you i really didnt think that it was going ot happen.
the fact that i was runnning around in kevin stones truck at 5 oclock just a half hour before students were going to start showing up, it kind of freaked me out. I got a few phone calls from a friend of mine that was like we have a meeting in the auditorium get in here, and the fact that i had to tell him that i was not at the building was kind of funny to me.
but hey we had the first night and guess what?
we had the largest attendance yet over all the stretch's.
we had: over 200 students
it was amazing, for how i felt at 5 oclock, it was absolutely amazing
we had this dance company come called Chosen Dance company, dude they got here about 10 minutes before the service started and they were absoutely incredible. These guys have performed at the Superbowl, the X-Games, BET, America's Best Dance Crew on MTV, and many other spots. they were incredible, they came in and did a whole demo and lead a dance instruction class after the service. They were awesome.
The band, dude the band is awesome. this is definatley the best band that we have had at all the stretch's i have been apart of. The chemistry of Ben, Alex, Dom, Andy, and Glenn, we have a kick butt band. They did awesome. The whole music production team did a great job, at getting everything together and finishing.
The girls did an amazing job at getting the students pumped up and excited for the rest of the service. They did amazing.
Now we have this guy named Travis, he is our two year in a row speaker. Travis is pretty sweet, not only is he a pretty cool guy, he is also a great speaker. he is able to handle and control the most often noisy and unattentitive crowd that is junior highers. i am very excited that he is here again and that we get to hang out and listen to him again.
So then there were the Bubba Brothers, what else do i have to say.
Stretch was awesome, we had so many good leaders, and we all came together when we needed too.
Thank you so much for anyone that was here last night, and will be here the next two, because it is going to be awesome, and it will be amazing to watch as God is working in these junior high students lives.

thanks
