2005 Miracle Yearbook

"Light in the d this year, it has a p Jeremiah Chapel at student body. Creating a theme r this year required a lot of observing on Dr. Brown's part. Because one of Cedarvi e's goals is to help students learn to engage the culture around them, Dr. Brown a d the administration felt that the theme of "light in the darkness" related very well. "For me personally, the th e of tight' kept coming to me again and again in the Scriptures," Dr. Brown sa s. "Spending time with a number of very well- educated non-believers also helpe e realize that people can be very smart and still walk in darkness." Dr. Brown conveyed his point by as essing a different topic every week. Each of these topics revolved around the ser theme of being a light in the darkness. Freshman Katie Carroll thought that Dr. Brown's message on "The Light of Love" hisfocus on the issues of racial and sious boundaries was key due to the reality that America is a melting pot of variou ial groups. "Since 9/11,discrimination has risen among the Arab cult and I think that as Christians living in the United States, we should remember,as D •wn said, that we do not get to choose who we love, but that we should show Chris to all, no matter what color or racial background one comesfrom," she said. At the end of chapel every Monday,students could expect Dr. Brown to say, "Have an awesome day!" And with that,they filed out the back of the chapel and off to their next classes,enlightened with truth and hope. rkness" seems like a simple concept, but, as students discovered found meaning. Nearly every Monday morning students filled the 0:00 to listen to President Dr. Bill Brown give his address to the Dr. Brown addresses the chapel with his typical Monday morning cheer. Campus Pastor Bob Rohm laughs out over the chapel audience.
