By Airi Nomura – Loveland, Colorado … Skits, charades, modern-day connections, an interactive video-game presentation, and going deeper into the Gospel of John were the highlights of the recent student-led week of prayer at Campion Academy.
Senior class members led the students each afternoon through the gospel by sharing valuable insights and creative lessons from the life of Jesus.
For some of the presenters, speaking in front of their peers made them apprehensive. Reflecting on the event, Lizzie, a senior said, “Being a speaker for the Week of Prayer was nerve-wracking, but fun at the same time. I was glad to have the opportunity to spread the word of God and dive deeper into the influential chapter of John. I hope what we shared touched someone’s heart.”
Students enjoyed the variety of presentations and seeing a different side of Jesus’ life.
“This Week of Prayer was pretty fun and exciting, especially seeing all the seniors participate and summarize their chapters in John. Having their different views on each chapter really helped me see a different perspective of the story. It was interesting listening to their thoughts and their conclusions, and also seeing many of their skits,” commented Denisse, a Campion student.
Another Campion student, Joaquin, echoed Denisse’s sentiments, “I really like Week of Prayer because not only do we get out of class a little early, but most importantly because it’s a week where we can learn about Jesus and the things He did.”
Joaquin added, “It was fun because the seniors were presenting their creative projects to teach us. I really liked their skits, but I also learned more about the book of John, thanks to them.”
