MegaCRU

If you had to make a playlist for your life, what songs do you think you would feature? I imagine your top artists on Spotify would be included, but how about the Psalms?

Last Friday, we at Shore had the opportunity to host MegaCRU for the second year in a row. If you are unaware, MegaCRU is a great gathering of CRU groups of schools from all over the city and region to have fellowship, food, and fun, but more importantly, it is a place to praise God and encourage one another to keep living for Jesus. We began our time together with some food on the Hall Quad before moving into the Smith Auditorium, where we played some games to kick the afternoon off. MCs Gabby (William Clarke College) and Ollie (St. Andrew’s Cathedral School) welcomed everyone, and we sang Made Alive and Glorious Day, worshipping the Lord with gladness as we would later read about. After this, Zach from Barker read Psalm 100 to us before Naomi Hammond gave the talk. We heard about how we should want to praise God because of the way He works in our lives. Without Him, we are like sheep without a shepherd, lost, hungry and vulnerable. But we also heard that God is good and eternally loving, and He loves us so much that He gave His Son to save us through faith in Him. Naomi emphasised the way all the Psalms were pointing to Jesus. Through this time, we heard from Lilah (Ravenswood) as she shared how God has been at work in her life, particularly in helping her prayer life. Following the talk, we sang Great Are You Lord and shared in small groups about our CRU groups before praying for one another. We finished by singing How Great Thou Art, praising God for His awesome creation and everything He’s given us.
