Man, it was the best NSWN yet. All three groups got together and we had a massive BBQ. Last year, we ran out of meat, and had to go buy some chicken nuggets or something at Safeway. This year, we were prepared and had plenty for everyone to come back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths!
It was amazing seeing Pauley Ballroom packed with so many people. We even had to kick out our upperclassmen because there were so many people. I heard that some late-comers had to be turned away because there was no room. That’s too bad…I hope they come back for Friday’s event, though!
The music was rockin’ and the new video was well-done. All that work setting up the trusses and lights made for a very concert-like feel. Man, that was cool! Pastor Ed’s message was great, also, as he talked about how we try to specialize ourselves and put on masks so that we can improve our self-image. Well, hopefully, we can start up a bunch of small groups this year and really experience fellowship and growth in Christ! In case you missed NSWN I, here’s the small group video:
If you weren’t there yesterday, maybe we’ll see you tomorrow at NSWN II!
Yes, it was definitely a memorable night. Every year, NSWN gets bigger and bigger, and last night proved this exactly. I really enjoyed the short film that the students acted in, and the live skit as well. It definitely addresses all of our concerns as we enter into a new scene like Berkeley. For all those that didn’t come out last night, or were turned away, I hope that they come on Friday (a little earlier) so that they can secure a seat in ballroom.
Since I have the fortunate opportunity to help out behind the scenes, I’m predicting that Friday night will be even more spectacular, with new music, video, skit, and thought-provoking message. And who can turn down free Dryer’s ice cream afterwards… AND sports and games at Maxwell Field (next to Bowles) after the NSWN2 event?!
Hope to see everyone there!
