Here we had a couch. A coffee table. Smiley pictures all around. Several bean bags. Lamps with soft lights. A huge “television”. Just like home.
Television watching is often a main attraction on one’s living room “itinerary”, so it was here. The live (literally!) Oxygen band started off the night by drawing the crowd in during its real and anointed praise and worship session. Following it was the prime time program, “Peer Sharing”. Ruth, Christine and Don all came onto “screen” and told their stories and experiences, using this to encourage their viewers. As many girls (and some guys?) would remember crying and feeling for the characters in the movie, “A Walk To Remember” or maybe even “The Notebook”, many would remember the stories of their peers in a much more personal and intimate level.
Alike your average living room, this UniSA “living room” certainly did serve its purpose. Not only did the exterior clearly resemble an actually living room, the persons in it were all able to fellowship among one another just as one would in a typical living room setting. However, unlike any regular living room, those present also had the opportunity to connect with God on a very personal level.
