I love the heart of our church campus! After much strategic planning, we opened our doors to over 14,000 people! The entire purpose of Northern Lights was to be a light to our community and follow up with those visiting our campus. Each person who visited received a follow-up email inviting them to our Christmas Eve service. We pray many are drawn to the Savior whose birth we celebrate.
Here are some interesting statistics from the week!
- 14,000 people in attendance
- 600 families were visited by our membership to invite them to Prestonwood
- 3,000+ photos with Santa
- 5,400 cookies decorated
- 3,600 crafts created
- 540+ volunteers
- 8 years old – youngest volunteer (not counting baby Jesus)
- 78 years old – oldest volunteer (as far as we know)
- 100+ volunteers from Student Ministry
- 33 Living Nativity performances
- 61 adult choir members volunteered their time to perform
- 240 PBC North students and children performed
- 2,573 cups of hot cocoa sold
I'm sure you've heard by now - PCA ran the hot cocoa booth! We sold 2,573 cups of hot chocolate and had the opportunity to tell many about our school campus. We bought every bulk container of Swiss Miss mix we could find and by the last night, we opened individual packets to make our large batches! We ran out of marshmallows after 51 large bags! Whew...lots of volunteer help from the North staff and parents as well as from our good friends from the Plano campus! This was definitely a school-wide effort.
Enjoy a few pictures of a very special eight days!,
Hot Chocolate Booth
Robert and Ginger Weeks and Tamara Daugherty built and decorated our booth! It was FABULOUS!
A special shout-out to my "right arm," Anslie Dysart! This woman had us organized and worked tirelessly to make sure things ran smoothly! Her nickname isn't "Dazzling Dysart" for nothing!
Thanks to our many, many volunteers!
Here are some pictures of our students enjoying other Northern Lights activities!
What a great week! This really makes us look forward to next year!
