This event will begin with an opening prayer. This will be followed by a 30-45 minute Bible study with discussion times. The event will be ended with a time of prayer requests and a closing prayer. Discussion and fellowship often follows the prayer as well.

Nav night is a gathering of the members of the Navigators. We start off with a bonding game that is low stakes and low activity. We then move into a time of worship with music and singing. We then break off into bible study groups to study the bible.

This Auburn University student recital is free and open to the public. Doors open 15 minutes prior to the performance.
