Okay think...5000 plus people, mostly teenagers ages 13 to 18 in one auditorium and 1000 in another, with a few adults mixed in to keep us in line. We've just finished another night service and its our communion night. Now, you ask how do you get 6000 plus teenagers and chaperons to share one communion. You set the communion outside at the university's fountain area and you start a song...Imagine this song started sung in the two separate auditoriums...quietly...over and over again. By all these people...all these "youngsters"...as we quietly and slowly parade out to the fountain area...meeting up with the other auditorium together singing this song...even adding a round and echoes to it and adding beautiful ad lib to it...
"Lord Prepare Me... To Be a Sanctuary Pure and Holy Tried and True With Thanksgiving I'll be a living Sanctuary For You" A short song, but beautiful in its meaning. This was done at the Presbyterian youth triennium back in July of 2001. I was going to be a senior in high school. I knew God. Prayed to Him occasionally, loved my church...but didn't really KNOW Him...truly in my heart until this week. I'll remember that week forever. It was lots of fun...but its the beautiful moments like six thousand teens and about only a sixth of that adults...singing quietly, peacefully such a powerful little song that truly touched me. God really works in wondrous ways. I needed to tell that story. Because I thought of it tonight as I was on here and figured that a sign. I know that song always helps me...you can look it up in an hymnal its probably in there...called "Sanctuary". Its always helped me. Two months later, after the triennium and me coming closer to God in a way I had never imagined before that week...two months, almost to the day, September 11th happened. Having God closer to me after that week in July helped soooooo much during those rough times our nation and world went through and is still going through. Besides wanting to share the story I also want to note that if you have a child whose interested in camp or a large group thing, if its something good and appropriate...try your best to get them to it. That week at the triennium I believe truly changed my life and I'll be forever grateful for the having the chance to go. |

Hi Tiffa, Thank you for sharing that with us. I am glad that evening had such an impact on your life and bought you closer to the Lord. I am quite fond of that song myself. |

Please give me more information on this. I would like to send my youngest daughter. http://www.presbyterianyouthtriennium.org/ The thing about this is they do NOT have to be Presbyterian to go. Its open, like most presbyterian churches, themselves, to all and everyone who want to go. Now our church helped us to go back in 2001 and I don't know how they do it now. But the site should be able to at least give you an idea. It says 2007 in the web page title, and this is the most recent one. so the next sadly won't happen until 2010. But you can go to www.pcusa.org or any christian youth site to find similar things for Christian youth. Hope this helps tiffany. I'm, soon, going to try to start volunteering again for similar things. I may even, if I have a chance to, to go to the next one as a chaperon...I'll finally be old enough to go without having to sign up for something has a worker...etc. -With God's Blessings Tiffany

Hi Tiffa, Thank you for sharing that with us. I am glad that evening had such an impact on your life and bought you closer to the Lord. I am quite fond of that song myself. hi Britty, and as I said I was thinking of it as I was on this site so I thought it a sign :) to share it with my fellow Christian coffee house goers. Always try to follow my gut...because usually its God trying to get an idea through me ;). Aye the song is a precious one in my heart that I hold dear and always remember.

I have not heard of that series. If you would like to share something about it, that would be most appreciated, then I can check into it. Yes, Indeed it is hot today. Yesterday, I spent a little bit too much time in the garden, during the heat of the day. Today, I relaxed and enjoyed a little air conditioning. Stay cool. Peace. |

Good morning everyone....What a beautiful day God has given us today.
I was able to finally give testimony for madamx (kitt) yesterday......Ohhhhh it's was so powerful. Of course getting through it without crying was the test for me. I did and how truly amazing is our Awesome God. The applause was amazing as the time frame in which the Lord healed Kitt was such a blessing and such a miracle. What I love about it all the best is the fire that the Lord God has given to my sweet sister Kitt. She is hungry for the Lord and that is by far the best..... I also did the below in another thread and it so applies to so many of the women that visit this thread that I also wanted to share it with each one of you. This thread and the people in it are a true blessing to me. Lord bless all that enter this thread, give them a peace in this wonderful sanctuary of praising and loving you, with all of our heart and all of our souls and all of our minds. Blessing to all that enter and thank you Lord for all that you do in our lives. Debbie A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape... but A woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape... A strong woman isn't afraid of anything... but A woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear... A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her... but A woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone... A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future... A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them... A strong woman walks sure footedly... but A woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls... A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face... but A woman of strength wears grace... A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey... but A woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong... |

It is wise to break off the contemplation of enemies and dangers by crying out to God. Prayer is a good interruption of a catalogue of perils. Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)
