One thing I really will cherish from Urbana was getting to watch the Performing Arts team bring scripture to life through dance, skits, and song!
Getting to see extremely talented actors, dancers, and singers use their skills for the glory of God was so encouraging. Plus as a viewer, it helped me empathize with certain characters in the Bible, feel more raw emotion, and even gain new insight and understanding on the passage! I could tell each scene, each choreographed number took a ton of work and these artists were bringing their A game.
As someone who hasn't felt particularly called to ministry (maybe that will change, we'll see), it is always reassuring to see various other professions and how they can bring so much glory to the Kingdom! Plus as a musician and a die-hard fan of So You Think You Can Dance, it was just really cool to see quality entertainment in a Christian context.
If you're curious about it, one of the dances that really moved me was a dance that was performed when we prayed for the persecuted church. The pillars in the arena represent different countries where Christians are persecuted and the dancers gradually bring their light to each place! It was a hopeful yet poignant number.
