1-26-16 iJ1 Broadcast: Prayer event, Ski Club and Chipotle update.



Two Sundays ago on January 10, over 500 people gathered in the gymnasium and around the Hogue to pray for the school and the Forward Together campaign. This event was the first of its kind and was coordinated by a core team of parents but also included many students, teachers and administrators throughout the school.  The High School worship team led the group in worship. Multiple prayer stations were located throughout the Hogue with a variety of themes ranging from quiet self-reflection and repentance to an interactive prayer art installation. The event was followed with a 21 day prayer and fast.  Worthington Christian thanks those who came out to attend the prayer event asks for your continued prayers and support for the Forward Together campaign which is seeking to raise 4 million by this summer to build new facilities.  If you have further questions and would like to schedule to attend one of the forums, please contact the office of Advancement at together@worthingtonchristian.com

The 2016 Ski Club season is well under way at Snow Trails in Mansfield, Ohio and has been a lot of fun for everyone involved.  According to the high school coordinator, Trevor Wadsworth, "it is a great time to spend with friends playing in the snow."  The club takes a charter bus up every Friday after school during ski season and enjoys pizza and a movie before embarking on a fun evening of snow boarding and skiing.

Chipotle, the fast casual burrito chain has reported cases of norovirus, salmonella, and E. Coli outbreaks since the summer in 9 states which has sickened dozes.  According to the New York Daily News, Chipotle now faces a criminal investigation after a norovirus outbreak at one of its restarts in California.  This has caused their stocks to fall drastically by 44% since the summer, according to the Wall Street Journal.  Only one case has been reported in norther Ohio back in November 2015, but there are currently no cases reported in Columbus.  CEO, Steve Ells has declared the outbreak over and plans an aggressive advertising campaign in February 2016 to woo back its customers, but all 19,000 locations will shut down temporarily for a few hours on Monday, February 8 for a national staff meeting about food safety according to CNN.
