Our theme verse this year is Psalm 8:3-4 Theme: Oh the Wonder When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place, what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him? This passage speaks to the immenseness of our God as Creator and Sustainer of our universe. At the same time, the focus zooms in to recognize that this colossal God expresses interest in us. Our goal for this weekend is to restore the wonder and awe to students when they meditate on the power, holiness, and intellect of our God. We also hope to inspire students to evaluate how this magnificent Creator has taken such care to make each student unique in their passions and purpose. It is going to be an amazing weekend! Here are some of the ways we will be emphasizing the theme this year: Our Worship sessions will draw us to wonder about His character, His plan, and our Purpose. We have several surprises to help provoke Wonder in the Lord. We will be sharing stories from church members who are serving Christ through the passions and talents God has given them. Students need to know that every believer is called to serve Him not just vocational ministers. We have small group leaders who will be helping your students process various personality profiles to see how God has uniquely gifted them. We are fortunate to have Jermaine Harrison and a worship band led by Charley Tynes leading our time of worship this weekend. The band comes to us from Mississippi and lead worship for camps, DNOW events, and Sunday worship gatherings. Jermaine is the High School Men s Small Group Pastor as part of the Student Ministry Team at Watermark Community Church in Dallas. Please join us in praying for these leaders as they lead our students over the weekend.
