Awaken Night of Worship

At the first Awaken Night of Worship on Sunday, July 31, the music was loud and strobe lights were bright.

At times, the beat of the music shook the floor as people between the ages of 12 and 30 worshiped together.

The group that packed The Block at Southeast's Blankenbaker Campus included teenagers from junior high and high school at all three Southeast campuses, as well as young adults from
the Post.

Each group wore a different color wristband: red for junior high, blue for high school and green for those who attend the Post.

Abbey Bushnell, 13, said she loved reading the Bible verses on the screen about awakening a generation to live for God.

Words written in red, blue and green were read by the group wearing that color wristband.

The theme of the night was “Awaken a Generation.”

Denise Griffis, 14, who will help lead a C-Group next year, said the worship was amazing to watch,

“I loved the prayer moments when everyone huddled into small groups to pray for their generation,” she said. “That was really special.”

Shelbi Draper, 18, said she hopes there will be more intergenerational nights of worship.

“It was cool to see three different groups coming together as a whole to worship in spirit and truth,” she said.
