True
Worship unites people of all walks

Bodies swayed to the gospel music that filled the room
as Christians of all ages and backgrounds joined together
for one night of worship.
About 500 people from all over Fort Worth — Catholics
and Protestants — gathered Tuesday in the Student
Center Ballroom for True Worship 2004.
“He has a plan for every single one of us, as long
as we say yes to Him,” said Brad Thompson, who helped
put the event together. “We’re here tonight
to accept Him into our lives.”
Flyers posted around campus promised “One City, One
Campus, One Night, One Lord,” and that is truly the
best way to describe the event.
“I think people were really touched by it,”
said Thompson, a senior radio-TV-film major. “It’s
powerful when people come together.”
Different ministries on campus and churches across the
city decided to hold the event because they got a good
response when they put the event together three years
ago.
“We really felt like God wanted us to bring different
ministries and churches together for one powerful night
of worship,” Thompson said.
A band specially put together for the evening played song
after song of gospel music, pausing in between to preach
and lead the crowd in prayer.
“It’s a good opportunity for the student body
to worship together,” said Kristine Clark, an admissions
adviser for Christ For the Nations.
As the music played, most people in the crowd sang along.
Some closed their eyes and outstretched their arms. Some
held babies and some held hands.
“I came because I just wanted to worship the Lord,”
said senior Leslie Ginger. “This is amazing and I
really want our campus to change.” |
