PIU Days 2013–Team Faith

PIU Days began in earnest on Friday afternoon at 4 PM with contests and games. Each day one of the three teams, and the character quality they represent, is featured and today focused on Team Faith. They were in charge of the program, served the food and refereed the games. They did a great job and got the 2013 PIU Days Celebration off to a good start.

The team cheer contest always starts off the competitions. I got to give the bonus points to the teams for this. I gave bonus points to Team Agape (bottom right) for being the best looking and organized. Team Faith (upper left) won the award for best dancing. Team Courage took the award for cheer with best content.

Then we gathered for prayer to dedicate the day to the LORD.

Then Team Agape and Team Courage faced each other in ladies’ volleyball. Team Agape was victorious

The same two teams faced each other again in guys’ basketball and again Team Agape took the win

Meanwhile Team Faith was setting up the chapel for their evening program

Libat led in Team Faith for their grand entry. After some spectacular dancing Kita led the group in some singing

Team Faith sang several numbers. Each team performs an original song written specifically for the PIU celebration and themed on the their team name.

They also performed a skit from the Gospel of Mark about the woman who was healed when she touched Jesus’ clothes

Matthew and Diverson sang before board member John Robertson delivered the evening message which encouraged us to “stand firm in the faith.”

Team Faith ended the program by having Libat escort our IT Director, Mary Lou Carruthers, up to the front to sing Happy Birthday to her. She even got to dance with Ransome.

All of us, including Courage and Serenity, enjoyed the hamburgers and chicken sandwiches provided by Team Faith after the program.
