WHAT TO EXPECT
What exactly do we do on a XLR8 Night?
Your First Night @ XLR8
The first time at XLR8, you can expect to be greeted by a warm, welcoming person who will introduce you to some of our awesome leaders, as well as other youth your age! They will do their best to make your first five minutes at youth awesome, and minimize as much awkwardness as possible!
On a typical XLR8 Night, the evening is fairly straightforward…
1) Hangout & Chill Time (approx. 20 min) At the start of the night, we have our Hangout & Chill time where all youth can talk, play a variety of sports, colour, play board games, or compete with one another in Mario Kart or Smash Bros!
2) The Game (approx. 50 min) Next, we play an awesome fun-packed competitive game (such as Capture-the-Flag, Dodgeball, Gargone, Pandemic, etc) and have some fun as a group! If that’s not your style, that’s totally cool – you can take this time to relax & hangout with your friends.
3) Worship & Talk (approx 40 min) After all that fun, we go into a time of worship led by our incredible XLR8 Band, followed by a 15 minute talk on God! This part of the night is an incredible opportunity to worship & encounter God, and is probably the best part of the night.
4) Food & Groups (approx 30 min) At the end of the night, we serve up some form of food & get together in smaller groups of like-minded youth for our youth connect groups! These groups are a great opportunity to get to know other people in a smaller setting, to laugh & have fun, or to relax and talk about love, life & God.
Overall, XLR8 Youth is a fun place to hang out, run around, play some games, and (if you choose) to get to know people and make new friends. It’s pretty sweet, and we’d love to see you there!
