The 30 Hour Famine is an International youth movement to fight hunger. Students decide to go 30 hours without food. As students go 30 hours without food, they’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be hungry, all the while reaching out to others in need. And as they do that, their compassion will grow: for people around the world, and right here at home. As a fundraiser, our students held a coffeehouse event, which was May 16th through May 17th. In order to share the plight of those suffering from famine, Evangel’s seniors sang, danced, and delivered spoken word. They also presented skits, power point presentations, and a video documentary. In addition to all of that, they served food – a commendable feat since they were fasting. After the coffeehouse (Friday – Saturday), students played games, prayed, participated in Bible studies, completed a service project (adding murals to the first floor bathrooms of the school), had communion, and broke the fast with a pizza party! This experience brought our group closer together, allowed us to help feed hungry children, and blessed us with an opportunity to change our world forever.
The Shakespeare Festival was an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful world of Shakespeare. Students chose topics of research that were relevant to Shakespeare and the Elizabethan time period. Dressed in period costumes, students shared their knowledge of the Elizabethan fashion, religion, jewelry, food, and other delights that were common during that time period. We even had a visit from the Queen, peeked in on Romeo and Juliet as they confessed their love in the garden, and even mastered the All Saints dance!
High School Spring Celebration
The High School students of Evangel Christian School did a wonderful job ministering at Evangel Church this past May. The Worship Team lead the congregation in several songs and the dance team did a beautiful job dancing to “Mighty to Save” and “Lord You Are Holy”. The seniors also shared clips of their recent senior missions trip to Spain. It was a great time in the presence of God. – Mrs. Aileen Torres
On June 5th Juniors and Seniors began to trickle into the school “dressed to the nines”. What a great evening was had by all. Freshmen and Sophmores, dressed in black and white, were hosts and hostesses. Students ate an incredible Italian meal and then the fun began. Teachers gave each Senior a special gift and each Senior left something special for next year’s senior class. At 10:00pm students changed into their “play clothes” and “had a blast” playing in the gym and throwing water balloons outside. There was also a great time of sharing and remeniscing. What an awesome evening we had spending time with the seniors before they graduated. The evening ended at midnight with pizza and soda. We can’t wait until next year’s banquet. A special thank you to 11th graders, Sarah Singh and Daniel Herrera who organized and planned the evening. We’re going to miss you seniors. Please come back and visit us.
