One of our favorite traditions. 🕯️On Sunday evening, Raiders gathered for a candlelight worship service—a meaningful time to worship, reflect and prepare for the year ahead.

The evening closed with hundreds of voices singing The Doxology together, a Northwestern tradition and powerful reminder of the One at the center of it all.❤

We can’t wait to see all God has in store for you this year. 🤍

What a special start to the year. God is already at work here. ❤️
