Chapel Review Weekending November 29th


Chapel Report
Friday November 29, 2013

Jim Epp shared in chapel on Monday Nov. 25.  His topic was ‘How Love Looks’ and he related three stories that demonstrate love in practical terms.  The most personal story was about his Grandma who, after fleeing Russia, remembered how her sister shared her food ration at a time of hunger.
 



On Wed. Nov. 27 the fall sports season was highlighted during an assembly in the chapel.  A comment was made for each player on the boys’ and girl’s soccer and volleyball teams as well as the players from the football, golf, and cross country teams.  As per tradition, donuts and hot chocolate followed!    





On Thurs. Nov. 28 the RJC Faith and Life Committee hosted the YESS! Summit (The Youth Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Summit).  In attendance were many workshop leaders and presenters as well as the student leadership teams from Constable Robin Cameron High School and the Rosthern High School.  Students explored environmental topics ranging from ‘simple living’ to ‘natural building techniques’ to name a couple of topics.  Student leaders finished the day by signing the YESS! Summit mural and indicating an action step going forward. 





Advent continued in chapel on Fri. Nov. 29 when the peace candle was lit.
