1. Amelie Lemaire marches across the stage to ‘My God is so Big’. The stu-
dents crossed each other swinging their arms as they sang the lyrics: “My
God is so great, so strong and so mighty. There’s nothing my God cannot do”.
2. Iko Kojima, Amelie Lemaire, and Justin An helps lead praise during chapel.
There are roughly 50 students involved in the praise or worship team and they
rotate every day three. 3. Gabriel Kim dances and raises his arms as part of the
praise team activity. The audience followed along as the praise team members
demonstrated alongside Gabriel. 4. Kain Choi actively swings her arms from
side to side and quickly wraps her arms around herself in a big hug. She was
leading the students in the praise song, ‘Jesus is my best friend.’ 5. Justin An
leads the students in the song ‘10,000 reasons’. He sings out “bless the Lord,
O my soul, and brings his hands into a circle every time he sings the words
“O my soul”. 6. Joshua Jung plays the old shepherd in the Parable of the Lost
Sheep. To emphasize his sheep were lost, the students hid from him and he had
to search the auditorium for them. 7. Cian Harding and Kazuma Tate worship
during chapel time. Afterwards they take their seat and hear the Bible story
of the pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14. 8. Linglong Zhu raises
her hand in a fist to show how mighty God is during the praise song ‘My God
is so Big’. Since she is in one of the youngest grades, she is able to sit in the
front row. 9. Jason Baek, a grade five student participates in chapel by reading
the parable of the lost sheep. He read five verses from the parable and passed
the microphone to Francis Park who read the parable of the tax collector.
10. Alfred Tony takes part in the song ‘My God is so Big’. While the song is
shown, Alfred demonstrates moves that the audience members could follow.
