Welcome to a New
Semester!
The spring
semester of 2010 started with a student retreat. It was held February
22 nd in Joy Hall.
The theme for the
retreat set students toward “Being a Community of Love” set around
John 13:35 ? “ By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another.”
Even for a
short one-day retreat, it was full of worship and set the community's
vision for the semester.
?
The
retreat opened with a worship service. At the service, the faculty,
staff, and student council were introduced for new members of the
school community. It served as a joyful reunion for continuing
students returning from a long vacation. New students were introduced
to the Torch Trinity community as the Vice President, Dr. John Song,
gave the message.
?
After the opening service,
the students broke up into small groups led by the professors. They
shared with one another following introductions, building fellowship
as a community. A presentation was prepared by each small group, and
then shared with the entire school.
The retreat also had a Q&A session for students to ask
of professors and an orientation to the student spiritual formation
program. The closing worship service was a blessing as the community
worshipped with the speaker, Dr. Yong-Jo Ha, the president of the
school.
