Chapel Report Feb. 1,
2013
Staff chapels
continued in January with the theme ‘Tell Me What You Want’. On Mon. Jan. 14, art teacher Denise Epp
shared her desire for students to learn to seek help from others to overcome
their personal struggles, including depression and other life challenges. On Mon. Jan. 21, Bev Epp declared that
she had everything that she wanted, and shared her vision for what she wants
for the students. He dream for the
students is to have just the right amount ‘wanting’ in their lives, enough to
make them yearn for a better world, but not too much to make them greedy. On Monday Jan. 28 the residences deans
(Rowan Bezeau, Dave Attema, Ashley Wiebe, and Kirsten Hamm) shared in a panel
discussion. Their message centered
on some insights from how their recent experiences compared to how they thought
their ‘life would turn out’ while they were in high school. They encouraged the students to not be
too hard on themselves, and to focus more on ‘who they are’ rather than ‘what
they will be’. The deans also
shared some highlights and lowlights about their jobs as deans. The students appreciated their honesty
and candor.
Grade 12 chapels on
Wed. Jan. 16 and Wed. Jan. 30 included sharing from Sarah Olfert, Cody Epp, Say
Eh Htoo, and Laura Buhler. These
chapels continue to encourage the student body as we learn more about each
other.
