The first month back to classes, Ginger and the InterVarsity chapter at Rhode Island College did several outreachs to new students.
For three Wendesdays, we did "proxé stations" - outdoor walls with questions to inspire curiousity and challenge students. The first week was "Why are you here?" with questions about purpose in college and life, the second proxé dealt with the environment and spiritual implications, and the third was for InterNational Day of Peace.
Below, students were given dot stickers to chose the answers they liked best.
Our International Day of Peace proxé was designed by Lindsey, an art education major. We printed 100 flags from different nations, and invited students to color (with crayons!) the flag of their choice. (We brought an atlas to find the right colors.) We noticed how everyone had a heart for a particular country- either identifying their roots or where they had been. Ireland, Canada, Cambodia, Germany, and others were quickly grabbed.
The back of each flag had three questions to inspire discussion as we colored: "What is Peace? How do you need peace in your life? Does God care about peace?"
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
The chapter's weekly "Large Group" meeting has been meeting every Thursday, and has already a higher attendence than last year. Below, president Alexandra (far right) invites students to step over the line and not be held back by fears that have kept them from God's calling for each of them.
Looking forward to a wonderful school year!
