Spirit(s) In Action

USC sponsors an annual program on campus called "Spirits in Action." Similar to the Special Olympics, over 300 athletes with physical and mental disabilities are invited to compete and enjoy games, sports and activities alongside a volunteer "buddy," usually an SC student, who's only job is to encourage their athlete. Several of our students became buddies on Saturday and spent the day guiding, helping and cheering on their athletes. In the midst of hundreds in attendance, these disciples seem to glow with contentment doing what they do best. Clearly, it was the Spirit in Action, the one and only Holy Spirit, on campus this past weekend at USC working to spread Christ's selfless love to a hurting world.

PSALMS made PERSONAL

going through Fee & Stuart's "How to Read the Bible for All its Worth" every wednesday with the campus has become a spiritually rich, deep quality and sacred time we all look forward to each week. this last week we did psalms and learned all the different literary techniques/genres used to express emotion to the Lord. This friday we wrote our own. We picked a few, turned off the lights, pulled out the guitar/bass/bongos and expressed our hearts to God on the altar of humility. What an inspirational night!pic by Alex D.
