We gathered in the gym to see our classmates and staff perform some of the different talents that God has graciously lavished on us. The stage was decorated with streamers, balloons, and flashing lights to set the mood. Act after act was performed in a variety of categories. Singing, drama, a djembe performance, stand-up comedy, and many, many more from serious to insane.
The student Praise Team kicked off the night by leading their audience in a praise chorus, followed up by special music.
One of the student ministry teams called Testify did their very own rendition of "My Girl", every so slightly changing the lyrics to direct it at their "My WOLBI" audience.
Two very funny skits were presented, one by students about a hypochondriac doctor.
The Grand Finale skit was performed by some of the guy students and our very own Dean of Men, Jon Ward (Check out his blog here)! This skit depicted a zealous not-so-synchronized swim team performing their acrobatics (literally) to the cheerfully poetic music of Beethoven's "Blue Danube". There is no pool in the gym, but they did manage to get wet!
We laughed, we cried, we cheered our hearts out as our souls were blessed by the talent that we hadn't even realized had been under our very noses during our time here at WOLBI.
Mark your calendar to join us next year for the 3rd Annual WOLBI's Got Talent night Tuesday, November 22, 2011.
