BASIC, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, held their first meeting in September in the morning around the flagpole to pray before the day began. Senior Katie Knapp restarted the group because she felt that it would be an uplifting way to build fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
“It’s a way for kids to get away from life, like a little sanctuary,” Knapp said. “Our discussions are about life and what we can do to improve in our walk with God.”
The group meets in the mornings on Wednesday at 6:45 A.M. in room W302. At each meeting they have small devotionals and discussions. They have had about ten people come to the meetings but the number varies from week to week.
“My goals are to fill W302 up with kids from all different backgrounds and ages.” Knapp said.
Knapp hopes people will leave from this group every morning ready to face the day and the challenges that it holds. The group really just wants to uplift one another. The members of the club want anyone to feel that they can share their struggles in a safe environment. As brothers and sisters in Christ that should be our goal, to show love to everyone we meet and listen to them in their time of need.
“I want everyone who comes out of the meeting to be on fire for God and ready to face the day,” Knapp said.
The club wants to reach out to students and invite them to come to meetings and share with them how God has appeared to be working in their lives. Whether God has done something extraordinary in their life or if they happen to be going through a rough patch. The club really wants to grow and encourages anyone who wants to be part of it to come and join in the mornings.
“Dena Schimming, the lady who started this club left, so I decided that it would be a good idea to start up this club again,” Knapp said.
Anyone and everyone can be part of this club. So come and see what BASIC truly stands for and the impact that it can have on someone’s life. They have had four meetings so far, and can’t wait to see the club grow.
“I want to spread a light that hasn’t been lit in a long time,” Knapp said.
