Chapel Review for Week Ending November 28


Faith and Life

English teacher Emily Dueck shared in chapel on Monday, November 24.  She related some life lessons that she learned on her recent pilgrimage to the Santiago Compostela in Spain and France.  She invited students to remember, “happiness is not a destination, but a way of travel.”




Students recognized the achievements of their teammates from the fall sports season in chapel on Wednesday, November 26.  Each team and team member from the soccer, football, volleyball, and cross-country teams was recognized for their contributions to the athletics program at RJC.




The Faith and Life committee lit the hope candle, the first candle in the Advent wreath, during chapel on Thursday, November 27.  A carol was sung, scriptures were read, and thoughts were shared.  Advent has begun!  Let us each prepare a manger in our hearts.   




Principal Jim Epp presented RJC’s ‘Do More. Be More.’ capital campaign to the students in chapel on Friday, November 28.  Over $150,000 has already been raised for this five-year plan, $5000 of which came from the RJC SRC.  Stay tuned for more details about this exciting initiative.
