2002 Miracle Yearbook

SGA CHAPEL This year SGA upheld its reputation for presenting the most student-focused chapels ofthe year, making each Friday unique, entertaining, and spiritually encouraging. SGA Chaplain Kevin Batista shared his heart and God's Word with the student body,lifting them up in their daily Christian walks with his down-to-earth, caring personality. Speaking on topics such as watching what is said and the real love found in Christ, he provided solid biblical teaching and funny stories from his real-life experience. Batista said,"I have loved working with my team for SGA chapels and also with the SGA executive council. Being chaplain is an incredible opportunity to let God work through you, but most importantly in you." Senior Ray Green led the worship team. His band, made up ofJoe Strychalski, Adam McCune, Ray Green leads the students in God-centered worship. Matt Hofmann,Ivan Batista, Crystal Cripe,and Adam Dennis, gave the student body energetic praise music and an opportunity to worship corporately. Some favorite new songs among students were "Everyday" and "Give Me One Pure and Holy Passion." Green said,"The opportunity to lead the student body in worship was an incredible privilege I will never forget. Ultimately though, working with close friends in preparation and execution ofchapel were some ofthe most rewarding moments of the year." Ofcourse,SGA chapels were filled with videos, skits, games, and an abundance oflaughter. Not only did students appreciate the action-packed entertainment, they found they were challenged to be more intimate with God as a result ofattending. Dave Wenzel and Rob Chesnut get the students laughing with their version of the Song of Solomon. Kevin Batista challenges his classmates about their daily lives. Chapel 151
