Student-led on Heb.12:1-2; Tim Abbatacola, MS Small Groups

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL

Tuesday: We opened chapel by seeing photos sent in by each small group that artistically represented Hebrews 12:1-2. Then students acted out a skit focused on the theme verses. Four different racers with four different reactions to difficulties were highlighted. The skit was both funny and meaningful. Lindsay & Nick offered color commentary. Leah, the last racer, fixed her eyes on Jesus and made it through the trials. Then students were invited to prayerfully reflect on the verses. Finally, students came to the stage to write on sticky notes how they are distracted and how they can more fully fix their eyes on Jesus.

Thursday: Tim Abbatacola spoke from Isaiah 49. Tim works with a youth group and is a student at Moody. God calls us out of darkness and into the light. And as people of the light we have a mission to show the light of Jesus to others.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Wednesday: Students lined up by grade and birth month. From there, small groups were created. Each student shared what they would like to learn more about in terms of their walk with God and/or the Bible. Then they reflected on Hebrews 12:1. Tim Lundeen taught us a new song, Finish the Race, based on our chapel theme verses from Hebrews 12.

Prayer, Homecoming Interviews, Kyle Bjerga

HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL

Tuesday: Student-led prayer chapel. Alyssa began the chapel by playing the piano and singing Abide With Me. Then students led us through three different prayer times: prayer alone, prayer with friends and then prayer with someone you are not friends with. It was a blessed time as students spread out in the auditorium to pray.

Thursday: A yearly tradition: interviews of the seniors on the homecoming court. Ms. Park and Mr. Lindloff asked the questions. First the senior girls came up and then the boys. Questions ranged from what kind of sandwich would you make for Ms. Park to how do see yourself being used by God in the future?

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Wednesday: Kyle Bjerga spoke. He is the pastor of discipleship and family ministries at Cityview Community Church in Elmhurst. The title of his talk was “Press Pause”. In our busy and screen filled lives, he challenged students to be intentional about spending daily time in devotion to God in prayer and the Word.
