The Faith and Life
Committee used one of their first chapels of the year to ‘rap’ the Psalms. Student volunteers were assigned
Psalms, which they performed for the student body with the aid of a beat-boxer. It was a fun and entertaining way to
engage with the bible. Mikayla N.
also accompanied Dayna G. in leading a hymn.

Robert Koop visited
chapel on January 9. Mr. Koop is
working at the University of Saskatchewan campus with the Navigators, a Christian
discipleship group. He invited the
students to continue with bible study while they are at university.
On January 14 our
driver instructor Naveed Anjum shared in chapel. Naveed is a practicing Muslim, and he spoke about his
faith. He delivered a message of
tolerance and acceptance and reminded the student body that the vast majority
of Muslims are nothing like the terrorists often seen in the media.
On January 15 it was
‘Mexico Day’ at RJC. International
students Sergio L. and Alejandro A.
planned a special chapel where they shared a short history of Mexico,
showed pictures of their hometowns, and had a trivia contest. A highlight was Sergio leading the
student body in a karaoke sing-a-long of a popular Mexican folk song. Sergio and Alejandro also reminded
students that Mexico is not as violent or lawless as it is often portrayed in
the media.
On January 16 Madi B.
and Emmanuel P. kicked off our annual Grade 12 chapel series. These sharing times have become some of
the most anticipated chapels of the year.
