PIU Days 2013–Team Courage

After the field events we took a short break and then headed back to campus for some volleyball and basketball games and then the evening program, led by Team Courage. Team Courage’s program began with a spectacular dance routine by Michael Atoigue (front and center in the picture), the 7 year old son of our operations manager Celia Atoigue, which I did not get on video. It was another great evening of song, skits, fun and worship. Good job Team Courage! This was my team for the event so I dressed in yellow and danced, well just a little bit.

The Ladies’ volleyball game featured Team Faith versus Team Agape

The basketball game featured the same two teams. Yesterday Samantha got a picture of Mike making a 3 pointer. In this game I got a picture of Mike air-balling one.

As the games were being played extensive decorating and practice for the program were also happening. Team Courage decked the chapel with yellow and blue.

The opening song and dance number was electric

The skit portrayed life at PIU. Daisy Murdock portrayed her muscular roommate Sarah Brubaker in the skit.

Matthew and Scott sang a duet followed by a worship dance from the whole team

The faculty children did the Bible reading

PIU alum John Aitaro was the evening’s speaker and he challenged the students to “stand firm” right now as college students by “doing the right thing” Strangely, this year, all of our PIU Days speakers are named John, so we have 1st, 2nd and 3rd John as speakers this year.

All the teams were honored on the wall of the program stage and all the teams joined Josh and Peter in thanking Greg Calvo and family for the outstanding gourmet hot dogs they served to us. Hot dogs wrapped in bacon!!!!!
