POETRY JAM

This year’s annual Poety Jam was exactly what it sounds like – a “Jam!”. This entire event was planned and set up by a committee of students who worked hard to put it together according to the guidelines given to them. The Poetry Jam was an opportunity given to the students to open up about certain topics. Some wrote about who their heroes are, gave us short photo memories of their life in the form of haikus, and some expressed their true feelings about sensitive topics. About 3 students also decided to share their individual talents in the form of music. While some presentations were comical and put smiles on our faces, others were heart-felt and brought tears to our eyes. We had a great time of eating catered food and goodies, to God moving miraculously among us. I can honestly say that it was a blessing for me and the students as well. I saw the love of God shining from the students’ faces as they shared favorite memories with friends and told us of how Evangel has been a great influence in their lives by showing them who God was and the love that He has for every individual student and staff member in Evangel. We had two special guests who spoke to the students about how God wants to work in their lives and the plans that He has in store for them, and the students really opened up to receive the message. This event was truly beautiful in every way, from the Jazz theme decorations, to the outfits that the sudents wore, all the way to how God is working in each and every life. I would like to thank the senior class of 2010 for being so cooperative and for helping out in everyway they did. I feel that this event has sewn the lives of these students closely and into a family that shares the love of Christ.
