Promotion Sunday
This Sunday is Promotion Sunday for Northwood Student Life!
Now, I'm sure you have many questions about this magical day, but since you are there and I am here I will have to simply imagine what our little Q&A might sound like... I think it would sound like this:
You: Hey Luke! Man, that is a nice outfit. You are such a snazzy dresser.
Me: What, this old thing, I picked it up at a garage sale, but thanks for noticing.
You: So I hear that Sunday is Promotion Sunday, what does that mean?
Me: I'm glad you asked. It's the day that everybody in Northwood Student Life moves up a grade.
You: But the school year hasn't even finished yet. Isn't that illegal.
Me: Um... I don't think so...
You: You better watch yourself, if the 5-0 show up, run.
Me: Yeah, I'm not too worried, but thanks for lookin' out for me.
You: No problem. So what happens on Sunday to celebrate the moves?
Me: Well, the Senior High will greet the new 10th graders and welcome them to the group. The junior high will say goodbye to the current 9th graders (who are going to Senior High) and welcoming the new 7th grade students who are entering youth group for the first time. It's a big day of showing each other that we look out for one another here. I love it!
You: What about the graduating seniors? Don't they get a goodbye?
Me: Sure do. Next week, June 8th, we are honoring them during big church.
You: Wow. That's fantastic! So what can I do?
Me: The best thing is to introduce yourself to some of the new faces in your age group and remind them that they are part of our community now, they are one of the family. And help explain what that means!
You: Coolio. I can do that! I'll see you on Sunday!
I think that's exactly how our conversation would have sounded if you were sitting right here. So hopefully I've answered all your questions about Sunday, it's an exciting day for NSL!
