What is Summer IV: Oasis?

It's easy for us to think that God does most of His work in us during the school year, but God is the same at Winter Retreat as He is in the middle of July. While IllinoisIV has always had programming during the Summer, we find ourselves at a unique point in time in modern history. To better adapt to our circumstances during Covid-19, we'll be spending the summer in corporate online spaces for "Medium Groups" and smaller "Micro Groups."

Micro Groups are small, student-led groups that focus on accountability and growing in faith together. Medium Group is staff-led and offered twice weekly with more of a teaching & application structure.

When and Where is Summer IV?

This Week: Going Deeper​

Corporate Prayer

1. How are you feeling about the coming semester? What are you excited for? What are you anxious or stressed about?
2. How do you want to see God at work in your life this upcoming semester? In your community? In the campus around you?
3. What do you need prayer for as you prepare your heart and mind and soul for this upcoming semester?
4. What typically makes up your daily patterns of life? What differs from a life of worship? How could your daily patterns more reflect a daily life of worship and prayer to the Lord?

​Practice the call and response liturgy together and/or do something musical worship together and/or do intercessory prayer for the campus and each other
