RJC News

RJC students explored the theme of “Building Bridges and Mending Fences” for this year’s Deeper Life Days at RJC. Students were challenged to be ‘bridge builders’ with their neighbors, whether across the street or around the world. Ryan Dueck, pastor of Lethbridge Mennonite Church, shared his church’s story of sponsoring Syrian refugees. After hearing the news of the effects of the Syrian civil war, his church decided to respond by offering safe haven to people in need. Linda Swab also shared about Eigenheim Mennonite Church’s sponsorship of a young Muslim Syrian family. They both shared about the challenges and rewards of these bridge building adventures.

Life at RJC continued on it's merry way despite the many days of gray skies and below normal temperatures in March.  Looking back over the month we still managed to fit in many events despite March being a short month with Easter break falling at the end.  

The 2017/2018 RJC basketball season was one of major growth. Coach Mitch Dahl took our crew of 9 girls with mixed experience all the way to conference playoffs. They sealed the deal over Waldheim by picking up the pace in the second half of their Friday game. That win moved them forward to Saturday's game versus the top seed, Valley Christian Academy. It looked like victory was theirs, but VCA came back stronger in the fourth quarter and RJC just couldn't hold on. It was a tough, but even match. A huge thank you to Mitch, our community coach, and congratulations to all of our graduating players Good luck to all those who will continue to be part of RJC Basketball in the years to come.
