What's Been Happening?

Campus
This month, we started into a series on Issues - taking a look at what God's Word has to say about some of the issues of our lives. For our Off-Campus service night, we served the Upsala community's school by cleaning the busses, auditorium, and storage rooms.

AC
On the weekend of Feb 5-7, we went with 13 Sr Highers up to Adventurous Christians in northern MN. We enjoyed God's creation, cozy cabins, snowshoes, leaning more about prayer, sauna and polar dip, singing worship songs by the fire, broomball, and Old Chicago pizza in Duluth. Through it all, we made awesome memories and got to know each other and God better!

Valentine's Banquet
On Sunday the 14th, the Sr Highers gathered at CCC for a formal evening of entertainment organized by Sheila Ripplinger. We enjoyed a delicious meal, prizes, pictures and a lively presentation about love by Arlene Warga and Jenny Bardy. We ended the evening with Les Miserables, a film about love and grace at work in the life of an eternally changed man.
