2007 Miracle Yearbook

e edarville's campus wasfilled with creative minds and talented hearts this year,as was evidenced in a Cedarville first: Mosaic.This unique event provided gifted musicians, painters,sculptors,and poets venue to worship God in their own way. Junior John Hawkins,coordinator of Mosaic, described the order ofevents and their specific intended urposes:"We organized the acts thematically, moving om innocence to fallenness and then out of despair into y.Sets byjunior David Sizemore included paper trees that were stripped of their branches when the fall came, and a cardboard city that was destroyed and then rebuilt at the momentof redemption that came during one of the songs." Hawkins also estimated approximately 200 people in attendance at the Hive the night of Mosaic.He men- tioned,"About half were fiercely involved—they danced to the music, made construction paper animals,sang along,and banged on pots, pans,cowbells,pieces of drum kits, and ratchets.The majority ofthe others was respectful and engaged,participating in their own way." Senior Sarah Baczek heard similar praises surround- ing Mosaic.She attributed it to the fact that the event "wassomething Cedarville isn't accustomed to doing because it was very differentfrom the Cedarville norm.It was fresh and real and very artistically driven."With such a gripping worship style and strong studentfollowing, this year's Mosaic may have been the beginning ofan honored Cedarville tradition. John Hawkins reads about the Shapes of Love, an orginal piece describing his view ofcom- munal love,love between lovers and,ultimate- ly, God's perfect love. Katie Klimek and Jonathan McGill create a work of art in black and white during a time of despair. As hope is restored,color is added to the piece. A Andrew Ralon plays his violin as Katie Klimek prepares to paint during a po etry reading. AIN 249
