Encourager the
This weekend hundreds of students from across our community will gather to
worship at Reality Weekend 2014. While each weekend is unique from year to
year one thing that remains consistent is God's presence and work in the lives
of students. We are overwhelmed every year by God's desire to draw students
to Himself and how each students' faith is cultivated and grown.
Will you join us this weekend in asking God to continue His work, praying for
the Spirit to move and work in students' lives? Pray for our worship leaders
and college students who will be investing in students. Pray for host homes.
Pray for safety.
Thank you for playing such an important part in Reality Weekend 2014!
