What I Love About Merge
My favorite experience so far at Merge: Response Time.
Each evening after a day full of stories, discussion, reflection and interaction, we all come together for an opportunity to respond to God and all He’s been doing in our hearts and minds.
We get to choose from one of three places to process and express our thoughts: the Art Station (HEART), Prayer Room (SOUL) and Study and Discussion (MIND). These stations cultivate a heart of worship, sensitivity, and reflection that create environments conducive to connecting with God and the discovery of how He is speaking into our lives.
After the stations, we gather as a whole group to share, answering these questions:
Where did you notice God working today? How?
What parts of the story have caused you to think about your own life?
What do you think God is saying to you through his story?
Students are sharing insights into God’s story that seem to come from a wisdom well beyond their years. Their comments are intelligent, insightful and inspiring. It has been amazing to hear about all that God is doing.
