Battle of Schools Event - Pt. 1


Since the time I arrived in Avon, I have wanted to do something that would bring the students from all over Hendricks County together. So we decided to do an event called Battle of the Schools that is much like a HUGE pep rally where we will pit schools against one another in contests to win the ultimate prize: The Spirit Trophy. This will be an annual event for us and we are super excited about it.

As we began planning it, we realized that to make this event really work, it was going to take us meeting with the schools and gaining their "buy-in" to help promote it school wide. Any one who works in ministry knows that this is tough because schools have to be cautious about blending "church and state."

Today, God moved! We met with the "higher ups" at Avon High School and they have agreed to partner with us. They are going to promote this event school wide and encourage their students to go and represent their school! How awesome is that?
