"Holy Hour"

(picture curtosy of "Lost" on ABC)

I was on campus yesterday evening attending a prayer session led by one of our student leaders and afterwards many of us went to attend "Holy Hour" the Catholic Student's worship service. "Holy Hour" consisted of about 50 min of psuedo-contemporary praise songs sang by a small choir and backed by 2 guitars and a djimbae and has been a fairly good way to start building bridges between the two religious communities - however I am grateful for the discussion it opened up with one of our student leaders.

What is the role of music in ministry? What is the impact of the attitude / heart of a worsihp leader on the people? What is the connection between communal worship & our beliefs / lives? How can 'joyful praise' be a mandate in the scripture? These and more great questions are hovering in students' minds and I can't wait to explore them more.

Please pray for me tomorrow (11/29) as I will be meeting with Kale Uzzle, one of our student leaders who is also a song writter and musician and has a lot of these questions on the mind. Blessings!
