A Report on 2013 Triennium
This year Triennium was a great success with an estimated
attendance of around 5,500 people. Though most of the people were from America , there were also attendees from Hong
Kong, Columbia and India . Each of these countries had
a speaker who told about their Christian life in their home country. Every
speech was great, as was every sermon. All of them were incredibly inspiring
and included the theme “I am.” The week was about being yourself and learning
how to keep being yourself, even around different people.
It was an amazing week at Purdue University

Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible Prayer
Remember to sway like a tree in the rain-forest. Plant your feet on the floor, stand, up, and shake your hands like leaves.
The Lord be with you…And also with you…
Thank you God (point up) For giving us so many gifts…
Every tree in the forest (stomp feet and sway arms like branches)
Will sing joyful songs to the Lord
Will sing joyful songs to the Lord
(cup hands around mouth) Teach us that as God’s people We Share!
Teach us that as god’s people We Give!

God help us care for your creation. Amen.
