Join us for a Night of Worship with all Christian groups on campus.
Join us on Thursday, November 5, at 7 p.m. in McKinnon Hall for a Night of Worship with all Christian groups on campus.
Student leaders from multiple groups are planning and leading the worship concert, featuring Urban Doxology and Kelly Glow.
Urban Doxology is a Richmond-based urban ministry promoting racial reconciliation through worship and music. Such reconciliation is needed now more than ever because 85 percent of all churches remain divided along racial lines, and churches tend to be 10x more segregated than their surrounding neighborhoods. Urban Doxology seeks to overcome that separation through multicultural worship resources and intercultural competency training.
Kelly Glow is based in Atlanta and a life-long Lutheran. She engages youth with the gospel and promotes positive youth development through a fusion of Funk, Jazz, Rock, and Hip Hop. She is the 2015 Atlanta Gospel Choice Award recipient for Holy Hip Hop.
This worship concert is a great opportunity for all Christians on campus — Protestant, Catholic, and non-denominational — to come together and promote Christian unity and racial reconciliation.
Participating groups include Affinity, Baptist Associated Ministries, Campus Outreach, Catholic Campus Ministry, Elon Christian Sorority, Elon Gospel Choir, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, LEAF, Methodist Fellowship, One in Christ, Ukirk Presbyterian Fellowship, Urgent Message, and Young Life College, with support from the Truitt Center for Religious & Spiritual Life and the Center for Race, Ethnicity, & Diversity Education.
During winter term, Christian Life at Elon will host a series of important dinner conversations on faith and racial reconciliation on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. Contact Joel Harter, associate chaplain for Protestant Life, for more information.
InterVarsity and Affinity are assisting with the winter term series and helped secure funding from Student Government for the worship concert. InterVarsity is also leading an apprenticeship discussion group on ethnicity that meets every other Tuesday at 4:15 p.m. Contact InterVarsity staff Tiya Bolton for information.
