All City Worship Night 2015

On last last Friday in January, Summit students from each city came together to engage in a special night of worship. Once a year, high school students involved in the year round program are invited to engage in a night different than what is common to a weekly Ozone meeting. There is a slightly different atmosphere to the annual event, and students appreciate its special nature. 
Worship Night is a great opportunity for students to do many things, like eat a home cooked meal together, practicing true, uninterrupted and non-digital fellowship and friendship with their peers. They get to worship God by singing praise songs along with a live band comprised of CWE 365 staff and volunteers. They pray both in groups and individually. It was a very intimate night that created unity among the different cities and gave students the opportunity to pray about issues that are happening around the world, the country, the state, in their schools and amongst friends and family.
High school student Audrey Kelley really enjoyed the time of prayer. She said, “I think it was good to show that there are other ways of worshipping God than just singing. I loved how we prayed about things happening in the world and our community.”  Many students took part in penning their prayers onto a prayer wall, where other students, staff and leaders could come and pray for the needs and requests of others.

Worship Night is such a great event because it invites students to take time to be in awe of God together and present their requests together. It is a place where high school students from different backgrounds can come and share the commonality of God and worship His name together because he is worthy to be praised. 

Rogers Ozone gains New Director: T.C. Shippy!

T.C. Shippy is a native of Odessa, MO (which is not the Odessa from Friday night lights) which is right outside of Kansas City. He has worked at CWE as a counselor for the past two summers and has just recently graduated from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO with a Biblical Studies degree. He is engaged to a wonderful girl from his hometown and is excited to begin his married life in NWA serving the community of Rogers as an Ozone Director.  We are thankful to have TC join our staff and look forward to all he will contribute to the team.

The 3 words that describe me:

Buzzkill, handy, trustworthy

My favorite camp memory:

When I was able to go to the cove with my cabin and blob while wearing my signature full body, extremely heavy when wet Pooh bear suit.

Five things that would be part of my Best Day EVER:

Mountains

Snow

Imax premier of a brand new movie that isn’t going to come out for few months

My soon to be wife and friends

A brazilian steak house.

My Favorite thing about 365:

That the amazing youth and counselors that I loved and grew with during the last two summers are just a phone call away.

The personal attribute/ability i'm most excited to bring to the CWE365 staff:

I can relate to a lot of different people and am glad that I get to use that to meet so many new people from different backgrounds.

If I could create any camp special event (or bring back an old one with updates) what it would be:

Space Travelers- which is full of intergalactic games, alien and Star Wars/Trek themed costumes and a school bus converted into a Millennium Falcon.
