DCC 2011 Week-in-Review

The whirlwind of Holiday traveling and the Denver Christmas Conference has transitioned into the second semester of classes. We are finally settled in and have our feet underneath us again.

Below is a video recap of our Denver Christmas Conference. One of the many highlights was seeing the 1,100 students raise over $30,000 of their own money towards packing meals for Haiti. Not only did they give, but they worked to pack 104,000 meals that will be sent to Haiti.

Another highlight, which you will see in the video, was the "flash mob" (a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual act for a brief time, then disperse). The students flooded the 16th Street Mall on New Year's Eve to take part in an eight-block long flash mob. Every student had their cell phone alarm set to the same time. When the alarms went off, they each froze in various poses for five minutes, clearly drawing attention to the massive flash mob. After the five minutes were up, students were able to get into spiritual conversations with many from the crowd gathered to see the New Year's fireworks show.

Enjoy the video!
