United as one Stillwater ministries gather on campus to worship, bring students together Audie Martin
STAFF REPORTER
In 156 hours of prayer across campus, Drew Moss is hoping for two things. “My hope and encouragement is that it will continue on after this week that people would grow in their desire to seek the Lord in prayer,” Moss said. “The second thing is that God would open our eyes to the goodness of Jesus and to our need for Him.” Moss, a campus minister at The Table, an Oklahoma State University Christian campus ministry, is the co-leader for the OSUnited worship event and week of prayer leading up to Easter. As 13 campus ministries and church groups gathered on Engineering South Lawn Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Moss is eager to see OSU’s campus become a worship ground. Stepping onto the stage at OSUnited, Moss addressed the crowd with his heart for the night. At the second annual OSUnited event and third annual week of prayer Moss said there were two key convictions campus ministers across OSU had during the week before Easter, or Holy Week.

espite growing up with a diagnosis that is one in a million, Garrett Jones lives each day with a joy that lightens up each room he walks into. The first thing Jones does when he walks through the door is hug each of his coworkers and tell them how
much he missed them. “He is so full of joy and excitement and comes into work with a smile on his face every day,” Ivy Hartman, junior at Oklahoma State University majoring in exercise science and Garrett Jones’ coworker, said. “He truly brightens all of our days and brings a sense of fun to the office.”
