Relaxation and Prayer Room

Last week was our most successful event for students yet, judging by comments made by students who attended.  We held a Relaxation and Prayer Room in the Bobcat Lair on Tuesday.  Over 60 students were in attendance during the hour and a half time.  Some came to receive massages and goodie bags.  Many stayed to pray at the different prayer stations we had set up. Students were excited to be part of it and some stayed the whole time soaking in the God-filled room.  Prayers were shared for different areas of the world, over the pictures of people known and unknown and in gratitude for the many blessings God has given.  Our prayer cross of gratitude will be shared with those who gather with the Bishop at Merced UMC on March 26th.  It began bare, but with the gratitude prayers added it is already turning into an Easter cross.
Great job to the students who did the shopping, assembling, inviting and hosting for the evening.  And thank you to all the behind the scenes helper (cookie bakers). You were a blessing to many!
