Rally Day

[KagomeShuko]

If I said, "Rally Day" or let's say that I was actually a Christian education and youth and family minister at a congregation and said that I was planning Rally Day, would that mean anything to you? What would it mean?

When I was in Youth it meant a car scavenger hunt (usually with pictures) and games. Start at the church, do the hunt, end back at church for dinner (hot dogs, etc. )and then have worship and a brief sermon from the youth minister.

It wasn't that a certain for me when I was a youth minister, but yeah, it was the start of Sunday School for that congregation. A huge fun event go get excited about Sunday School starting. Events were, of course, based on something Biblical - but we had all kinds of different events over the years.

That sounds similar to what my current ELCA church does. It is less youth oriented since they also are celebrating the new year for the adult studies, but it is a party for the parish.
