In the first evening service, we experienced some technical difficulties with the camps video projector setting keeping us outside the chapel. That didn't throw off our students who were more than ready to kick off the first service.
We ended up having an outdoor prayer rally. Many of the students lead out in prayer and Angela Miller lead the whole group in a worship song. When the doors finally opened, the students charged in and never looked back.
Worship was off the charts. Students praising, singing, jumping, and with hands raised, expressing their love towards God.
Pastor Paul Conway, confronted the image crises that so many Christians seem to face. We live in a world that tries to mold us into its own image, when we know the Word of God declares that we have been made in the image of God!
Students are especially vulnerable to image or identity deception because they are still in the process of discovering who they are. Therefore, it is vitally important that we, as Christians, have a solid understanding that our identity is in Christ and nothing less!
During the altar times, the majority of the students came forward to seek the Lord and to draw closer to Him. The spiritual tenor at this point was explosive, as we ended the service by breaking out in a few more songs of praise and adoration.
Ending our evening we had a time of connecting with friends at the snack shack. I never have seen so many students down so much junk food so quickly. OK...maybe I have on a few occasions!
Right before sending them off to nightie-night, we went to Night Craze. This was an outdoor, under the lights team game time. I will say nothing more than it was shear pandemonium.
And so ended DAY ONE! LiveChosen
