SPIRITUALLY Through a wide-range of reli- gious activities, Manchester stu- dents could be found striving for spiritual growth both on-and off- campus. On Sunday, not only did the community churches open their doors, but the Petersime Chap- el was open for a Sunday Cele- bration of its own. Led by stu- dents, the service gave small groups a chance to intermingle ideas and plan a program which often consisted of songs, a ser- mon or even skits. A morning chapel on Wednesday was di- rected by Campus Pastor Tim McElwee to give students and faculty another opportunity to worship. Through Bible study groups students kept spiritually active. The BASIC (Brothers and Sis- ters In Christ) group met on Wednesday evenings for fellow- ship and discovered a group support in devotions or guest speakers. The Rejoice group, on the other hand, met to em- phasize the singing and praising of God. A third group, OMT (Outreach Ministry Teams), kept busy leading worship ser- vices in neighboring churches. Besides those groups, stu- dents on different hall wings of- ten met for their own Bible stud- ies. Other students attended the Friday prayer breakfast in the Union or participated in a Chap- el Fellowship held once a month. Groups such as the Religious Life Committee and the Cam- pus Ministry Board organized events for the whole year. Plan- ning Focus on Faith Week, ar- ranging two all-campus retreats and bringing three well-known movies to campus were all pro- ducts of their work. The annual Focus on Faith Week in Novem ber was highlighted by the pres ence of Melanie May, a formei MC graduate, and a pane! dis cussion on The Role of Worn en in the Church. The spiritual aspect of col lege life kept many active on and off-campus. Through the ef forts of several organizations MC continued to maintain a friendly, spiritual atmosphere. Spiritually 9
