The Gather offers an intentional welcoming of incoming Freshman, a variety of graduation-themed activities, and a buffet dinner. During the combined Proclaim and Break, Core Members invite Seniors to come to the front of the main meeting space to honor them and give them a gift. A Junior also gives a testimony on how Life Teen has blessed him or her and welcomes the eighth graders to Life Teen. During the Send, the youth group prays for the Seniors and the Seniors, in turn, pray for the youth group.
