Campus Ministries will host Refuge in the Student Village circle tonight, after Tiger Tunes. The student-led service will not be held at Second Baptist Church as usual in order to accommodate many GROW students. Refuge is a weekly time for Ouachita and Henderson students to meet and worship together.
“We like to have at least one outdoor service a semester,” said Kendall Calvert, campus ministries assistant director. “It’s always fun to have a little change.”
With more than 300 prospective students on campus for a preview weekend and GROW, Calvert explains that Campus Ministries wants to have plenty of space and create an exciting atmosphere.
The outdoor sound and lighting is set up specifically to accommodate the area and audience. Jake Fauber, a senior music major, and the worship team will lead students in a time of worship before Kyle Fischer, a senior Christian Studies major, speaks.
“Having the service outside just creates a really fun atmosphere for everyone,” Calvert said.
The outdoor service has become a tradition for Homecoming weekend and continues to draw both current and prospective students together in a Christian community.
