On Wednesday we savoured our last morning prayer and breakfast for the school year. Praying and eating in common was a wonderful way to give thanks, and celebrate the way God has been present in the Chaplaincy.

On Tuesday the Student Executive Committee and members of the SLT celebrated a year of fruitful leadership with fellowship, burgers, and ice cream! Thanks to this year’s Exec!
