Dr. Skip Hessel (far left) led a panel discussion for the Pastors’ Conference with the featured speakers.
There were crowds on campus April 20-21 as we held a Pastors’ Conference, hosted a Fine Arts Festival for Christian schools, and had the Music Department’s Spring Concert! The total attendance for the Pastors’ Conference was 80, with the focus of the conference on apologetics. Next year’s conference will be held April 19-20, 2018, so start making plans to attend. Over 500 students were on campus on that Friday for the Festival, which included music, art, theatre, speech, science, and math. Many faculty members served as judges for the event in connection with Blue Ridge Christian School. Everyone was ready to relax and enjoy some good music by Friday evening when it was time for the Spring Concert, and the Music Department did not disappoint.

As always, Commencement Week was a flurry of activity, all with the goal of sending our graduates off in a suitable fashion! We held Awards Chapel on Thursday, May 4. Each undergraduate academic department chose a graduate to honor, and non-academic awards such as character, ministry, missions, and sportsmanship were handed out as well. The Seminary and Graduate School also presented the Zondervan Greek award and International Association of Biblical Counselors Certification. After Chapel, several of the graduates and their families attended the Alumni Induction Luncheon. I welcomed them to the alumni family and explained their new responsibilities and privileges. We also took a few moments to recognize the spouses who have made sacrifices to “Put Honey Through.”

What a beautiful day God gave us for making campus improvements! Thursday was the Spring All-Calvary Work Day, and, as they did in the fall, students, faculty, and staff spent the morning on projects that will beautify and improve our surroundings. Groups painted in the gym, outside the education building, in the Clark Academic Center, and in the Admissions Visitor Room. Other groups cleaned in the theatre department, Madison Hall, and the library. Some of the most visible work was done near Madison Hall where workers planted shrubs and did other landscaping jobs. We are so thankful for the excellent weather and all of the hard work that was done to accomplish these tasks.
Students and staff worked on the landscaping in front of Madison Hall.

Philippians 3:7-10
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

This past Saturday our Student Services department hosted a one-day Ladies Conference for Calvary students, faculty, and staff. Julie Ganschow, director of Reigning Grace Counseling Center, was the speaker for the day. She taught about having a confident heart in a wavering culture with a focus on a woman’s biblical role. The ladies in attendance also enjoyed food, games, music, and craft demonstrations. Overall, it was a terrific day of edification and fellowship.
Julie Ganschow encouraged the ladies to “follow hard after God.”
