WHAT IS MIDNIGHT MADNESS?
This event is geared to drive fellowship and devotion into one large group event. It is a blend of both recreation, where you can just enjoy some “downtime” away from the day-to-day, coupled with a time and space to reflect on how God is drawing you to Himself.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MIDNIGHT MADNESS?
When you arrive, each student is required to “sign-in” (so we know who’s here) and then you are given the freedom to check out the place to see “who’s here” and “what we have to offer”.
RECREATION POSSIBILITIES:
Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Kickball, Dodgeball, Frisbee, Ping Pong, Pool, Movies, Board Games, Cards, Sardines, etc. New this school year is, 9-Square in the Air!
DEVOTION POSSIBILITIES:
Safe spaces to relax; talk; listen; and simply to be you. We encourage students to gather around 9PM in the Sanctuary for Worship and Devotion. A message will be prepared to share God’s Word in a relatable way to each student’s place in their life. We believe that THIS is the most significant part of Midnight Madness because we have seen the impact it has had on many people’s lives.
FOOD:
Pizza or Subs, Chips, Cookies, Candy, Pop (or “Soda” if you are from the South). New this school year is a Cereal Buffet, where we will provide dozens of varying flavors and levels of “healthy food” options.
WHO IS MIDNIGHT MADNESS FOR?
Primarily we have designed this event for students (grades 6-12) who are residents of Eaton County. If you are not a resident of Eaton County, but a friend of someone who is, we’d love to have you as well. This is also designed for adults (with a cleared background check from the Director of Youth and Family) who want to invest in a student’s life since we know how important adult mentors can be to the maturation of a student. Please contact us to volunteer at this worthwhile ministry event.

Holy Communion Policy
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at First Lutheran in the belief and glad confidence that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but His very body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that they may show forth His death until He comes.
Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold any understanding different from that of this congregation and The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive this sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor or an elder.
