Students from Black Student Union lead chapel as part of African American History Month: “My Soul Looks Back in Wonder.”
In celebration of Christian camping and outdoor ministries the featured speaker is Dr. Luke Gascho, Executive Director of Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College.
“Finding a place we love in nature increases our awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. In these settings, often found at camps and nature preserves, we learn more fully to love what God loves. Spiritual alertness is enhanced in these settings as we learn of the relationship of all things to God. As a joyful response to knowing our Creator, Restorer and Sustainer, we grow in our role of caring for the earth.”
Campus ministries continues the This I Believe chapel series with Lana Miller leading a prayer practice helping participants reflect on their core values and beliefs that guide daily life.
Student participants in the Ministry Inquiry Program reflect on their experiences serving in Christian ministry over the summer of 2007.
