Blogging the NYG - Post #7

DAY FIVE RECAP

I can't believe it's our last day at the National Youth Gathering! This week was filled with so much and has gone by so fast. But, all good things must come to an end. And what an ending it was! In true NYG style the Closing Event was one big party... loud, crazy and full of energy and surprises. It was a great sending for our youth. Take what you've heard and experienced this week and share it with everyone you know! It's that easy. Tell the story... tell who Christ is and what he has done for us... We have the truth and that truth needs to be told. Jeff Meinz gave a fantastic message and challenged us to do something more with what we share. Instead of updating our Facebook status with something lame, trivial, or selfish... share what really matters. Share something that may have an eternal consequence. Share what you BELIEVE!

The Closing Event ended with an incredible noise thanks to 25,000 "Boom Whackers." It was awesome hearing the different sounds come together in perfect harmony and rocking the Superdome. It was an unforgettable experience!

Now we are heading home... 20 hours on a bus, but totally worth it to take back a week of memories, new friends, and faith-building experiences! Thanks National Youth Gathering... it's been great!

Here are a few photo highlights from Day Five...
