2007 Miracle Yearbook

r riday is the favorite day ofthe week for many Cedarville students, not only because it precedes a two-day break in classes, but also because it brings SGA chapel.Gabe Coyle,the worship leader,said,"This year has given me an amazing leadership opportunity,and I've been blown away by the response ofthe student body."In SGA chapel,students could be sure to have a good time, while still hearing a challenging message and enjoying meaningful worship. SGA chaplain, Mark Hershey,said,"It has been exciting to see the different ways God has used chapels this year. I love the way things have turned out"Mark's creative stories and heartfelt messages touched many ofthe students.Sophomore Sarah Crichlow said,"I love the fact that Hershey is amusing in his random illustrations yet dedicated to the seriousness of preaching God's Word." Chapels this year were known for Mark's cross-stitching stories,Wade's flannel shirts,and U99.5's iPod giveaways.U99.5 gave away several'Pods through a series of onstage contests,including playing air guitar and batting whiffle balls into the audience.Even the school mascot had a turn at batting, but the Bee proved to be a better mascotthan a player. One ofthe most memorable chapels was Groundhog Day chapel.Wade stood in the cold"for hours" waiting for the groundhog to come out of its hole in the Fallen Man statue and was shocked to learn that the animal was already onstage having a discussion with Mark Hershey.The students erupted in laughter when Wade charged onstage and tackled the unsuspecting groundhog.Students appreciated SGA chapels because they had a good balance offun and serious worship.SGA continued its tradition of leading chapels that brought the students together to worship and grow closer as a student body. A Mark Hershey was greatly appreciated by the student body as a whole.Junior Bridgett Horton says,"Mark was a great chaplain. His unique humor,topics,and honesty really got the students to listen." 1r This year's SGA worship band core was comprised of Gabe Coyle,Colby Taylor,Stephen Sylvester,and Rich Davies. Freshman Rachel Latario says,"The SGA band is absolutely amazing!They are solely focused on glorifying God in everything they do." • Wade McComas - a standard on the SGA chapel stage - said of SGA,"SGA chapel this year I think accomplished what it was supposed to by presenting people and topics that could help the student body no matter what they were going through."
