General Sessions
at Urbana 03

December 27, Evening Session - A word of welcome as we celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness in bringing us all to Urbana. God knows your name, and has drawn you here to Urbana and has good plans for you.

December 28, Morning Session - We focus on God's holiness, power, might, and justice; we learn about prayer as we explore in a new way the Lord's Prayer taught to us by Jesus; we listen to God's word from Luke 4; we hear about how God is at work among students around the world.

December 28, Evening Session - We worship God regardless of our circumstances; we celebrate God's reign over our lives; we choose God's reign and not other things; we confess and repent, and receive God's cleansing.

December 29, Morning Session - We trust God and follow where God leads us; we ask that God open our eyes and that we have faith to be witnesses; the world is more open to spirituality that we think; we pray for those we know who do not know Jesus.

December 29, Evening Session - We worship a God who is worthy; we call others to choose God; we choose to be careful about presenting the Gospel across cultures; we choose to live out the gospel in friendship rather than proclaim it merely with words.

December 29, Concert: Broken Walls - Special one hour concert by Broken Walls, a Native American music group who invite us to be reconciled to one another and to God, to Rise Up!" and worship our God.

December 30, Morning Session - We celebrate God's character, kingship, and lordship; we give God glory; God is our safety; we choose to fast today, learn more about fasting, and give generously to the Urbana Offering.

December 30, Evening Session - We are called to surrender our life to God, regardless of the circumstances. God is the author and initiator of mission. Commitment breeds commitment. He who emptied himself to the point of death on a cross calls us to join him in his global cause.

December 31, Morning Session - It is Jesus who gives us our mission and Jesus who calls us to make intentional decisions about how we will respond, how we will serve him; we do not serve God's Kingdom as individuals, we serve in the context of community.

December 31, Evening Session - We worship God on our last evening together at Urbana; we pray for students and the cooperation of many student ministries; we do mission as a community, as the Family of God.

December 31 Communion Service - "Do this in remembrance of me". As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim Christ's death and resurrection until he returns again.
