Celebration Week proves to be an awesome experience
,by Julianne Kuykendall

“Do you know Him?” This slogan be
came the theme for 1995's “Celebration Week”
the annual student-led revival which was held
January 29 - February 2. Junior Tina Duncan
coordinated the event, which was a coopera
tive effort of all the ministry organizations on
campus.
Dover Theatre became “the place to go”
throughout the week as hundreds of students
filed into the auditorium at 8:30 nightly. The
stage converted into an altar and the theatre
became a sanctuary as students celebrated and
worshipped the Lord.
A talented music team led the crowd in
singing and a variety of students read scrip
ture and prayed each evening. Students also
participated by giving personal testimonies
One writer's
views of one of
the biggest
yearly events on
campus
and performing in dramatic skits. Special
guests, including Dr. Jack Partain and Dana
Russell, powerfully inspired the students
throughout the week.
Celebration Week was expanded by pre
senting the program during Dimensions on
both Tuesday and Thursday. Senior Clayton
King delivered a simple message of salvation
to the entire student body on Tuesday.
Thursday's Dimensions was dominated by
music and a “down to earth” look at Jesus’s
life before he went to the cross.
“Do you know Him?” This question be
came the common thread throughout Celebra
tion Week, making it unique among past re
vivals. Students were encouraged not to base
their faith on temporary highs, but rather to
trust God for a lifetime.
God revealed himself to Gardner-Webb
during the week and students “know” Him
better because of the experience. This was re
flected by maijy commitments and decisions
being made for Jesus. This is what made
1995's Celebration week an event that will
continue to affect lives positively for years to
come.
“It was totally awesome,” replied one stu
dent. “I can't wait until next year’s revival.”
