Homecoming 2010

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (Jn. 15:13)

What a beautiful Fall!!

This week was Homecoming for South Dakota State University and there was so much going on. One of the greatest ways to reach out to new students is through fellowship and fun!

                   The Theme for this years Homecoming was....Peace, Love, and HOBOS!!



Students dressed up for Hobo week!


All week there was something going on, from the Newman Center float to the Karaoke and Rootbeer Kegger....the place was packed!

It is so great to have opportunities for students to share eachothers lives and grow in Christ! There is so much peer pressure going on on the college campus; drugs, promiscuity, and alcohol are a dominating factor in the lives of students. FOCUS helps to build up and foster good relationships with others and gives them the freedom to do so in a healthy enviornment. The Newman Center is a great place to live life to the fullest!

At the Football game! Go Jackrabbits...we won 30-20!

One of my most favorite things to do is KARAOKE, so I was excited when the Newman Center hosted a karaoke kegger....Rootbeer that is! There were about 175 people who showed up to sing, dance, and mingle!

Jeff and Nate singing a little diddy~

Before the Football game the FOCUS team decided to have a tailgating party for the Students! It was great fun playing games, eating BBQ, and relaxin!....we got a little evangelizing in too!
