Gathering
of the Unashamed
This concert brought teenagers from all over
the Bay Area to worship God.
by Brittany Brinkman
On the night of September 21 a large group of youth and adults gathered
together to worship God. The Gathering of the Unashamed is a worship
concert that brings Christians together to stand unashamed before
God and the community. This year The Gathering of the Unashamed took
place in San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, Foster City, and Fremont.
This concert brought teenagers from all over the Bay Area to worship
God.
The event in San Jose took place at Cesar Chavez Park. The concert
began at 6:30 p.m. with artist and worship leader, Will Derryberry.
His amazing leadership in worship inspired all students and adults
to praise God and sing from their hearts. The worship continued with
a band, which included men and women from a variety of churches. The
entire crowd was on their feet worshipping and praising God. The presence
of Christ could truly be felt throughout the park.
After a time of singing, special guest speaker, Joel Johnson
from Teen Mania preached to the entire park. His sermon included stunning
statistics, applicable verses, and inspirational challenges. Johnson’s
amazing presentation had students checking their faith and seeing
how they could expand God’s kingdom through prayer.
Many students from Valley Christian attended this incredible event.
Some came from their youth groups and worshipped with their friends.
The Prayer Evangelism class, with teacher Ms. Vivian Pipkin,
met at the LightRail and when they reached the park they praised the
Lord together. Other students just came to experience God’s existence
and presence at the concert.
This event was extremely successful. The Gathering of the Unashamed
was truly blessed by God and the many people at the park felt a burden
for their community. Prayer and worship truly reaches God and this
event gave Christians new confidence.

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms
Devastate Gulf Coast
Two monster storms, aptly called 100 year storms, savaged the Gulf
Coast last month. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita swept in from the waters
of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.

Warriors of the Waves
The start of the new season for the Warriors Varsity Water Polo team
has actually been going strong since the beginning of summer. An intense
training regiment filled early mornings and late evenings with long
hours practicing the fundamentals and conditioning. All this work
helped the Water Polo team prepare for another grueling schedule in
the West Catholic League. Senior Andrew Kikuta and
Junior Jonathan Langdon are this year's team captains.
