“This will be a jam packed night of food, fun & fellowship - We will have games, prizes, and live music performed by students,” event organizers said on Facebook. “What is most exciting about this night is that students from the Macoupin County area will join thousands of others across the nation! Students will be sharing the power and love of God with other students. They will testify about their relationship with Jesus and encourage their peers to turn to Christ.”
