Chapel Report

Friday Jan. 10, 2014

Linda Dickinson, Material Resources Coordinator at MCC AB, was our guest in chapel on Mon. Jan. 6.  Linda encouraged students to ‘show up’ and take advantage of opportunities to serve others, especially during RJC’s upcoming ALSO week.  She spoke about her recent trip to Guatemala where she visited many of the communities that have benefited from the work of MCC, and where many RJC students have and will work and travel.  She also related some experiences from the floods of the past summer in Calgary and High River.  RJC students will visit High River during ALSO week to work with MDS in flood clean-up relief.   It was an encouraging hearing from someone so passionate and genuine about their work in service to others. 

On Wed. Jan. 8 RJC held its first ‘Conference Wednesday’ chapel where pastors and leaders from the conference are invited to share in chapel.  Dave Feick, representing the Micah Mission, shared about his ministry to those in the justice system.  Dave challenged students to think beyond the headlines when considering criminal cases and to consider the people involved, both victims and perpetrators, and to consider how to bring restorative justice to all parties.

On Thurs. Jan. 9 the Faith and Life Committee attempted to stem the ‘January blues’ by performing a funny, heart-warming skit to introduce the ‘love theme’ for the month, ‘love always hopes’.  The committee shared events and activities that they are anticipating this semester to give students some things to which they can look forward. 

On Fri. Jan. 10 Lutheran Minister Michael Diegal visited our chapel and delivered an epiphany themed message.  Pastor Diegal also presented some candlesticks, an advent wreath, and some books to RJC on behalf of the now closed Hague Lutheran Church.  These gifts are much appreciated, and reflect the solidarity of mission felt between different denominations in the Valley.

Chapel Review Weekending December 13th

Chapel Report

Friday December 13, 2013

Teachers Lloyd Schmidt and Richard Janzen, along with Intern Sarah Paquette, shared in chapel this week.  On Monday Dec. 9 Lloyd used his math skills to lead students in a group game, which pitted four teams against each other.  The point of the game, which Lloyd explained at the end, was to get the students to see how they needed to work cooperatively in order for the game to have the best results for the greatest amount of people.  Math games + Lloyd + Chapel  = Fun!  Thanks Lloyd! 

On Wed. Dec. 11 Richard showed slides of his family and talked about the importance of being part of a loving family unit.  He encouraged students to appreciate and cultivate loving relationships within their families, and to take time this advent season to remember that Christ was born within an earthly family.

Friday Dec. 13 was Intern Sarah Paquette’s final day at RJC.  She related some personal stories and explored the theme of ‘forgiveness’ in chapel.  When she was two years old her mother was killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver.  Her powerful personal testimony about learning to forgive the driver struck as chord with the student body and she received a loud applause at the end.  Following chapel students thanked Sarah for her contributions to the school year and wished her well.  All the best as you finish your studies at U of S next semester Sarah!   

RJC continued to celebrate Advent this week with Faith and Life lighting the fourth advent candle on Thursday Dec. 12.  Christmas carols were sung and students were encouraged to spread Christmas joy.  The Faith and Life committee spread some joy themselves by surprising the student body with homemade cookies as they exited the chapel.  Merry Christmas everyone!  Next week students are anticipating Winter Fun Day and our final Christmas chapel, when we light the Christ Candle complete with a candle light service.  May the Christ child continue to inspire hope, joy, peace, and love in us all this advent season!   On behalf of the RJC Faith and Life Committee, Merry Christmas!
