GRANVILLE — Tickets are on sale now for the annual Awaken event at Fairview Guest Farm & Ranch in Granville Summit.
The event is planned for Saturday, Aug. 7, and will be a one day youth worship conference at the farm.
Ages 12-20 are welcome to attend the event. Tickets for the event are $15 and can be found on Event Brite.
“We encourage buying tickets ahead, but they will also be available at the door,” said Ashley Shedden, event organizer and owner of the farm. “We will have the ‘Stunt Dudes’ performing throughout the day.”
The Stunt Dudes are a BMX stunt team who travels around the world, sharing their testimonies as well as their BMX talents.
“Our main speaker of the evening will be Vic Murphy,” said Shedden. “He is a world-renown BMX rider and is credited with developing the sport to what it is today. He shares the word of God through his testimony of his journey, trying to prove there is no God and ending up becoming a Christian through that journey. He spent his life sharing his story and encouraging crowds of all ages, especially youth.”
The band this year is called “We Are Vessel,” a Christian-Rock band from Georgia.
“They will do worship in the beginning of the day and a concert in the evening,” said Shedden.
Among the other activities planned for the day include a bike giveaway, games of all kinds that kids can play, food trucks and more.
Awaken merchandise and band merchandise will be available as well.
Awaken is a non profit organization with a mission to bring hope and life to a lost generation through an authentic encounter with Jesus Christ.
“We do a large outreach event during the summer, but throughout the year we go into the schools and teach a leadership course to high school age students. Our goal is to build relationships with teens and teach them the joy of living a life with Jesus by your side. Our leadership course is designed to help teach teens skills that will be useful for them as they graduate and move on to their next step in life,” said Shedden.
