Overtime

overtime 2008 was last weekend

it is a chance for many of the local church youth groups to get together for an all-night adventure packed with fun, music, and food

there were bands

and more bands

and one of the (very cool) moms brought glow sticks for our kids during the concert

dwight knight spoke and touched their hearts. we had 80 of the 500 hundred kids come for the alter call. many had questions. and many gave their lives to christ that night.
