Chapel Report
Friday Jan. 24,
2014
Myrna Wiebe, RJC
Residence Director, shared in chapel on Mon. Jan. 20. She used a power point presentation to show some family
pictures and explain how music, love, faith, and family are all connected for
her. She finished the chapel by
inviting some staff members to sing (in four part harmony, of course!) a hymn
with her, which sounded wonderful!
On Wed. Jan. 19 and
Thurs. Jan. 20, ‘Conference Wednesdays’ continued as the chapel played host to
Warman Mennonite Church pastor Josh Wallace. Josh used his excellent story telling skills to relate a
story about a young girl he knew in high school who had lost hope. He encouraged the students to turn to
one another, those they trust, and to God to gain hope in their lives.
Eigenheim Mennonite
Church pastor Allan Friesen spoke in chapel. He used a power point presentation to speak on the topic
‘All I Need to Know I Learned From Cows’.
Pastor Friesen shared about his time on the farm as a boy and in
Paraguay as a young man, and now as a father on the farm outside of Laird. He related lessons from the corral that
reflect biblical truths that can be applied today!
On Fri. Jan. 24, the
Faith and Life Committee launched it’s 8th annual ‘Faith and Life
Fundraiser’. This year’s theme is
‘Have a Heart’ and money will be raised for the Rosthern Elementary School
Breakfast Program, The Paraguayan Recycled Orchestra (which will tour through
RJC on Tues. May 6th), and for the Anadesa Peace Park Project in
Guatemala. The goal is to raise
$5000.00 for these worthy projects.
