Highlights ASSEMBLIES: M-F @ roughly 10am, 30 minutes in The Oglesby Room (MPR); includes
video, prayer, Scripture, Speaker (15-18 min), and live music (either chorus or solo)

STUDENT LEADERSHIP: Service Council will be leading the way during Christian
Emphasis Week. They will be participating in the Assemblies by leading prayers, reading
Scripture, and providing visuals as the passage for the day is read. A student-made
video will also begin every assembly, and live music will be provided by chorus groups
and a soloist. The Service Council will also lead the Action Groups.

ACTION GROUPS: M-TH, for 30 minutes immediately following the Assembly. The
Action Groups will give the students the opportunity to put the theme for the day (i.e.
Relief, Improvement, etc.) into action. There might still be some informal discussion as
students complete projects. These groups are led by the Service Council.

SERVICE CHAT: M-TH from 7-7:30pm, the students are given time to further engage
with what they are learning during CEW by chatting on-line with each other and faculty.
This will take place on todaysmeet.com

CELEBRATION: Friday during the 45 minute Assembly, we will celebrate as a community

what we learned and did. There will be a video, student speakers, and a Gospel choir
