Hold on! Hold That Line is coming to VI!

So, we (Lee, Dustin, Aimee, PC, Coleman[?], Rachel Martin, Bryan Georgilis, Drew Troller, Annie Memmott, Mike Keller, Hannah Mauk, Sam Franer, James Sayer, Angie Bell, NikkoBB [Nick Black], Audrey Black, Maddie Barnhill, Katie Keiser, Annie Gaburo, Laura Sloneker, Phil Bowdel, Sarah Meadows and I) went over to Indiana for the weekend for the Student Leadership Retreat. It was absolutely amazing, and I am really confident that this team of leaders can make a HUGE difference in VI. I wanted to let you know about my new ministry, apart from Musical worship and mentoring Slon for Breakfast Club, don't hold your breath...It's the HOLD THAT LINE!!! Ministry!

Inspired by Annie Gaburo's riveting cheerleading skills, I'm heading up the 'Cheerleading ministry' (baptized as the "Hold That Line!!" Ministry). It was Drew's idea, but I'm leading it. What it will be is a team of people from VI that will go to other people's events, soccer games, football games, wrestling matches, basketball games, musicals, plays, etc. and cheer you on, win or lose, rain or shine, 99 degrees or 9 degrees (well...we may draw the line somewhere below freezing point but...). What does this mean? We're willing to surprise you, catch you off guard and make your day, but as the head of the calendar (I'm trying to juggle ~5 sports schedules alone) it would help me if you let me -or James Sayer, my mentoree and awesome assistant in this ministry- know either what sport you play and when an event is coming up. If you're in musicals (like me) plug in the equivalent and please let us know. Even though VI is a great, loving place, sometimes you just don't feel like people want you there (I've felt that way in past years), well, in truth, we REALLY want you there, but it's hard to know when to say it. Now...you're never gonna know when we're gonna say it to you! We'll be screaming your name and waving posters and holding the line for you!
