Registration Day

There are a lot of people here at this Fine Arts Festival.  7,500 students are registered for this year's Fine Arts Festival.  This made for a 4 hour line at the registration table.  We took shifts on the line so it wound up being a pretty relaxing day.  We were able to see people that we know from Pa, as well as, meet new people from all around the country.

Now that we are registered and ready to go, here is the schedule:

Tuesday

Stephen 4:20 pm South 210 E

Jeff 4:28 pm South 210 E

Wednesday

Hannah 9:08 am North 220 D

Courtney 9:16 am North 220 D

Unite Drama Team 10:20 am North 320 C-D

Thursday

Unmistakeable 9:00 am North 310 C-D

We are praying that as our students use their gifts to glorify God that the people that are watching would be blessed.  I am so proud of how our students have kept a ministry focus.  It would be easy for them to focus on winning alone, but they have continued to focus on God through devotions and accountability.

We ended the day at the evening worship service.  Jeff Deyo led worship, Phil Stacey was performing preservice (yes, he was on american idol), and Mark Vega brought the message.  The time of worship was intense, and the message didn't slow down.  Our students were encouraged to give it all to God and to allow the scars of healed wounds be a testimony to the world.  So many times we continue to have guilt or shame over our past, when we should be sharing our faith and the testimony of how God's grace has healed us.  It was a powerful time of worship and prayer.  

I know that this is going to continue to be an incredible week!
