Summit Worship Night 2014

Most Ozone special events come with flashing lights, lots of energy, many games, slices of pizza, and a crazy Camp War Eagle experience.  But, because we’re Camp War Eagle, we like to change it up once in a while! Once a year we bring our high school students together for a more low-key, mellow event with dim lights, a focused energy and a home made meal. Worship Night is an event held for those students who want to know God in a more intimate way, through worshiping with their voice, heart, and soul.
Worship has been something that many students in all cities have asked directors to incorporate more into Ozone. However, with the hour and a half packed schedule of a typical Ozone, the requested style of worship is something that often won’t fit into the night. However, we do listen to our students’ requests and see the importance of worshiping our Lord!  Rogers High School student Hisleny Garcia says that she loves worshiping God through song because, “I can connect with the words of the song and I can feel God’s presence in me.”
We at Camp War Eagle value worship because it is a time to put God at the center of our lives, and focus on the one who is all Powerful. Psalm 86:9,10 says this:
All nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
Because God is so great and deserves much praise, we enjoy this time of year that we get to come alongside our students and focus on worshiping our God.  Rogers Summit attendee Julia Holden enjoys worship because “I can connect with the Holy Spirit and focus on Him alone.”

Ozone is a place where students from all walks, wisdom, and knowledge can come and share in one thing- Christ. Although we are unable to share in corporate worship like this during the majority of the year at Ozone, Worship Night is a time students from all four cities can gather and worship God together, sharing in fellowship, a meal, worship, prayer, and fun.
