renewal as students wrote down
heartfelt prayers to leave to God on
the altar.
Campus Minister Faithe Beam and
Graduate Assistant Louisa Monroe
advise the planning team.
So far the response to the new
worship service has been generally
positive. Planning team member
Emily Maultsby acknowledges that,

the faith displayed in some
students, and that’s something I
haven’t been used to seeing
around campus.”

Amena Brown will be at Campbell University for Connections 200
and an evening performance that night in Turner Auditorium. As a

Call of a Creative God, explores how experiences such as deejaying,
learning to dance, having a broken heart, and practicing the rules of
improv can teach us about our life’s rhythm and how we can better
tune our ears and lives to the rhythm of God.
She and her husband, Matt, also known as DJ Opdiggy, travel and
perform a presentation of poetry, monologue and deejaying. Along
with her spoken word recordings, Amena has participated in
numerous professional and live recordings and video series.
