eeding students spiritually was the focus of Campus Ministries. To accomplish this goal they planned many events throughout the year that demanded a ton of man-hours. From worship sessions for daily chapel, 9 o’clock Sunday communion services, and Wednesday evening devotionals to all the special events such as split devos, See You at the Pole, Student Lectures, and early morning devotionals for the girls. In addition, they organized the annual Shine Retreat and brainstormed many opportunities for students to help with Haiti relief including a candle light prayer vigil open to the campus and community,
Caleb Hawley concert, and sold “Hope For Haiti” shoelaces. They formed committees to focus on the areas of outreach, worship, encouragement, and mentoring; thus, dividing and conquering the tasks at hand. The group was led by Campus Minister Tim Lewis, with senior staff Mason Lee, Heath Schmalzried, Mark Smesrud, and Kristin Tuttle. YCM staff was Cailin Carroll, Brent Johnson, Amasa Maine, Jake Owens, Saul Perez, Jacob Redfearn, Mitch Roush, Kelci Scott, Aleesha Torneten, Sarah Va n D e u s e n , a n d D a v e Yo u n g . Support staff was Cory Clark, Rachel Johnson, Casey Kinnison, Jason Lloyd, and Kait Loney. Bri Rush seems to have something important to point out to Maggie Arlt at the Shine Retreat.
