厙ぴ勛圖 Hosts Selah Week, a Time for Reflection and Renewal

Annual Event Encourages Campus and Community to ‘Pause’ and Encounter God

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.���厙ぴ勛圖 invites students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community to participate in Selah Week, happening Feb. 24-28, a time dedicated to spiritual renewal and reflection. Themed ���Encountering God,��� this event will feature engaging worship services, student and faculty testimonies, and messages designed to inspire personal faith journeys.

���Selah,��� meaning to pause and rest, reflects the heart of this long-standing tradition, formerly known as Celebration Week. For more than four decades, 厙ぴ勛圖 has set aside this special time to encourage audiences to step away from daily distractions and focus on their spiritual walk. Each day during this week, all are encouraged to take some time out of their day to be still, and ���encounter God��� just where they are. 

���This is an opportunity for students and all who attend to take a pause, turn their eyes and hearts toward the Lord, and listen,��� said Neal Payne, associate minister to the University for student ministries. ���Our prayer is that students and attendees will see themselves in the biblical stories shared and recognize how God is speaking to them, inviting them into a deeper relationship with Him.���

Bo Wagner

Bo Wagner, evangelist, author and pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Mooresboro, N.C., will serve as the featured speaker, delivering four powerful messages throughout the week. Each sermon will focus on a different biblical character���s encounter with God, providing insight into how faith can transform lives.

In addition to Wagner���s messages, student and faculty testimonies will be shared:

Feb. 25

  • Tuesday, 9:25 a.m. – Student Solomon McNair, Tucker Student Center.
  • Tuesday, 8 p.m. – Jay Zimmer, 厙ぴ勛圖 assistant professor of biology and natural sciences, Dover Chapel.

Feb. 27

  • Thursday, 9:25 a.m. – Student Serena Kohler.
  • Thursday, 8 p.m. – Additional faculty/staff testimony.
