Friends for Life Cruise On February 11–15, while much of the country faced cold winds and snowstorms, a group of Cedarville alumni and friends experienced a much warmer climate aboard the Grandeur of the Seas! On this year’s Friends for Life Cruise, the group set sail for Cozumel, Mexico, and enjoyed four days of fun, food, and fellowship. Dr. and Mrs. Bill Brown also attended the special event. A highlight of the trip was the Sunday morning worship service. Other guests on the cruise joined the group as Jeff Beste ’87, Jim Cato ’83, and Stephanie Minier ’05 provided music and Dr. Brown gave a brief message. “The best part of the cruise was building relationships,” shared Jeff, director of alumni relations. “It’s amazing how much you get to know people in such a short amount of time. Whether relaxing together, eating dinner, or playing shuffleboard, we had so many great opportunities to talk about God, family, and life.” a lumnotes CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY 31
