On February 10 the student body celebrated “China Day” in recognition of the season of the Chinese New Year.  This is an important event for many of our international students.  Students wore red and learned about some of the traditions surrounding the Chinese New Year.  We truly have much to learn from one another.

Chapel Review Week ending Jan 23rd


Faith and Life

Abe Buhler, Pastor of Zoar Mennonite Church in Langham, shared in chapel on January 21.  He spoke of the ‘Kingdom of God’ as a present reality in our lives, a living, thriving presence that touches us if we let it.  The students appreciated his relational, story-telling approach. 


The Faith and Life Committee kicked off its annual fundraiser on January 22.  The ‘Have a Heart’ campaign will run through March 20 and raise money for a variety of local and international charities.  Students eagerly participated in the first fundraising event on Friday, January 23, a dress-code free day for a toonie. 


On January 16, RJC students traveled to Saskatoon to "takeover" the Wildwood Youth Group in Saskatoon.  Students led group games, devotions, and chatted over delicious snacks from the RJC kitchen.  Much fun was had by all!
