18 Feb 200 Kids Attend Hillsdale Super Bowl Party

Over 200 kids of all ages attended a Super Bowl Party at Hillsdale UB Church (Hillsdale, Mich.). In addition to watching the game on one of the big-screen TVs scattered around the church, the kids could:

• Burn off energy in an inflatable bounce house.
• Play 3-on-3 basketball.
• Challenge each other in Rock Band.
• Play ping pong and pool.

At halftime, everyone gathered in the gymnasium for an interactive game.

The youth and adult supervisors were from the Hillsdale Youth Network, which consists of the local Young Life group plus five area churches–the Hillsdale and Lakeview United Brethren churches, the Hillsdale Free Methodist and Assembly of God churches, and El Bethel Church.

The Super Bowl Party is one of two events the Hillsdale Youth Network organizes each year. The events are funded by donations from the churches and community.

Michelle Vigil, Hillsdale’s youth pastor, says, “It’s a real group effort to make it happen.”
