Chapel Review Week Ending April 2

Chapel Review

It was exciting to welcome Eric Paetkau to chapel last week.  Eric spoke about his time at RJC as a grade 11 and 12 student and how it shaped who he is today.  He also shared his professional journey as a musician and how it lead to his new position as Music director of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.  Concert Choir then performed 'Pompeii', one of their prepared pieces for Eric.

Grade 12 chapel's continued over the last two weeks.  The students and staff continued to be blessed by the sharing of personal stories by our grade 12 class.

Students and coaches celebrated the winter sports season in chapel on April 1.  A high percentage of students at RJC are involved in the athletics program.  Thank you to all the athletes and coaches from the basketball, hockey, and curling teams, and to those students who joined either Gun Club or Run Club (the RJC fitness programs).

The RJC Boys’ Residence Dean, Joel Siemens, is feeling a little lighter these days.  Students shaved Siemens’ signature beard after surpassing their goal of $5,000 for The Faith and Life Committee’s annual Have a Heart fundraiser.  The fundraiser ended on March 31 raising a grand total of $6,282.45.  “It was great to see students really getting involved this year,” said Faith and Life leader Rachel F.  All the money goes to organizations outside of RJC, and includes funding for local groups such as the Rosthern Ministerial’s Refugee Committee

The Faith and Life Committee led an Easter service in the dining hall on the last day of classes before Easter break.  Students gathered for breakfast, listened to the Easter story, sang hymns, and ate Pasqua bread!
