International touring group trEd visited ACS on Friday, March 15 to perform in Upper School Chapel. Founded in 2007, trEd Performing Arts Company utilizes a unique form of athletic movement, original music, and live sound to deliver a message of breakthrough and freedom.

The performance included several powerful interpretive rhythm numbers, including a Maori Haka written and choreographed specifically to tell the story of the Heavenly Father sending His only Son Jesus to earth to die on the cross. In addition to the drum and dance routines, trEd members shared testimonies and spiritual challenges to the middle and high school students. “Christ in you, the hope of glory” was a key theme as students were encouraged to pursue their God-given destinies and reach beyond what they now think might be possible. After the presentation, the members of trEd spent about 30 minutes in an uplifting time of intercession with dozens of students, faculty, and staff who joined them near the stage for prayer.
