Notes from life

So, last week our ministry, Christian Challenge hosted a concert event in Dunn Meadow on the IU-Bloomington campus called 'Hullaballoo.' Although we didn't set the world on fire, I thought it was great that we played across an open field from the Sigma Chi fraternity, which recently lost a brother to the war in Iraq. Now, normally that would be cool in itself as a witness, but this particular brother was also an outspoken Christian, a member of Sherwood Oaks Christian Church and Campus Crusade for Christ. The 10-15 Sigs that sat on the steps and chilled while the bands (there were three) played on definitely knew where their brother would have them be. I can't say that we got to tlak much with them, but I suspect that the Holy Spirit was saying plenty through the music and attitude of our event. We hosted three bands, Jonathan Pettigrew (the BCM Director for IUPUI) spoke, and we gave away nachos w/cheese, soda pop, water and sno-cones. It was fun for everyone who dropped by.
