This Easter Season, we will be inviting our high school and middle school students to gather on the big field (Soccer Field at CAI; Football Field at CAL) for a Christ-centered celebration event called “Unite for the Risen Son.” This Biblical Unity sunrise event will feature a Christ-centered music playlist, brief Christ-focused messages from select students, guided spiritual interactions among attending students and photo opportunities that will help our students to leave a Gospel-focused legacy at their school.

Would you please join us in prayer for this event, consider joining us in-person during this event and prepare yourself to minister to any students who experience life-change in the aftermath of this event? And could you please show your students this event trailer before the dates of these events arrive?
