Vision Week


This week we took a week “off.” We transformed the basement of CCH (where we usually have chairs set up to listen to Brad on Wednesday nights) into a place students could get out of their ordinary routines and encounter God. The building was open so that students could come anytime that worked with their schedule.



We hung sheets to separate the space into different stations. Each station had a different theme. Some were review about what we have been studying in David, while others were new, we had a station where students could give $1.20 and package 6 meals to be sent to Africa through Something To Eat.



This year there were several new things we added to vision week. Every night at midnight we had worship, some students fasted for one, two, or three days, and for the first 36 hours students were praying continually in the prayer room upstairs.



Thursday night we had our wrap-up. It was laid back with worship and some sharing of what God had revealed to us.



One of the coolest things for me was the Intro. It was based around John 13:1-17 when Jesus washes the disciples’ feet. At this station there were washable markers where you could sit down and write your sins on your foot and then step into a tub of water and the marker would disappear from your foot as a picture of Jesus making you clean. If you don’t know, I have a tattoo of a cross on my foot, so when I was writing sins on my foot I was writing them on the cross, and when the marker was washing off my foot it was an awesome picture of because Christ died on the cross is the reason my sins are being cleansed.

  1. I love your last paragraph about the cross not being rubbed off. I appreciate you saying that your sins are being cleansed, not that they are cleansed. Of course all of our past sins are cleansed, but God's grace is delivered to us daily. He uses so many different vessels to cover us in it, such as worship, good deeds, communion, etc. God's grace doesn't only come down to us when we have faith, it is a continual life long process of opening ourselves up to it.
