Chapel Review Weekending November 22nd


Chapel Report
Friday November 22, 2013

Continuing with staff chapels, Karalee Kuny shared in chapel on Wed. Nov. 13.  Students appreciated her use of multi-media and video clips to explore the theme ‘What is Love?’.   Karalee shared that at RJC she has been challenged to be not only a caring teacher, but also a loving one.  




On Thurs. Nov. 14 the Faith and Life Student Committee organized a game of ‘Hangman’ on the whiteboard in the chapel, boys versus girls of course!  What made this version of ‘Hangman’ different was that Committee members kept erasing the body parts of the hangman.  This was meant to help students reflect on this month’s ‘love focus’, which is ‘Love keeps no record of wrongs’. 
Cheyenne and Laura lead the game.


The Boys Team score a point!




 On Fri. Nov. 15, Susan Huxman-Schultz, President of Conrad Grebel University College, spoke in chapel.  Huxman-Schultz was visiting campus as the guest speaker for our Annual Fundraising Banquet.     



Mennonite Disaster Service rep. Janet Plenert joined us in chapel on Mon. Nov. 18.  She shared about the work and mission of MDS, and showed some slides of recent natural disasters in the United States.  RJC will be working with MDS at High River as part of our ALSO week this spring.




  Kathy Moorman from the Saskatoon Health Region was in chapel on Tues. Nov. 19 to educate students as part of ‘Addictions Awareness Week’.  She used a Jeopardy-style game to raise awareness about addictions issues.   We appreciate Kathy’s willingness to educate our students about these important issues facing youth. 





 On Wed. Nov. 21 the Faith and Life Committee lit the first advent candle and started the advent season
