J-Term 2017
Forty-two students cut their semester break short so that they could participate in J-Term 2017. The week can be intense, with class meeting for six hours each day and assignments to be completed before and after class. However, it is an excellent opportunity to complete a class in a short time period in order to lighten the course load in the future. Classes are usually small, and the atmosphere is more relaxed than during the semester. It has been nice to have students back on campus this week, and we look forward to welcoming the rest next week.

In Loving Memory
On December 10, we lost someone who was important to Calvary and even more important to me. My grandfather, Harold Grimm, is now in the presence of the Lord after 85 years. If you attended or worked at Calvary during 1987-1997, you probably remember his joyful, caring spirit as he served the Lord in the cashier’s office. The 1996 Crown yearbook was dedicated to Grandpa and my grandma, Thelma, and said about him, “His interest in the lives of individuals is a ministry that is unusual in today’s fast-paced society.” Even after retiring and moving to Arizona, he and Grandma would travel back to help with KLJC Care-a-thons for many years. When traveling was no longer possible, he still ministered to Calvary through faithful prayer and support. I don’t believe that my Grandpa ever met a stranger! He loved to tell stories and was an avid fisherman. He will be greatly missed, but we rejoice that he is free from earthly pains.
Memorial Service Information
A memorial service will be held at Thornydale Family Church in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday, December 18, at 2:00 p.m. MST. A second service will be held here in Kansas City at Blue River Bible Church on December 22. Visitation will begin at 5:00 p.m. with the service following at 6:00 p.m.

End of the Semester
Do you remember what the end of the fall semester is like? If not, let me jog your memory! You have papers to write, projects to finish, and, of course, final exams. There are also many other events and activities vying for your attention – Christmas parties, basketball games, spending time with friends, Christmas shopping, and maybe even playing in the snow! You are looking forward to heading home in just a few days to spend time with family and friends. If you are an older student, you may have children to care for in addition to everything else. It can be a very busy time! Please pray that our students would maintain the proper focus and finish the semester well. Also ask God to give them health and safety during their upcoming break from school.
Students gathered in the Clark Academic Center on Tuesday to enjoy some food and fellowship at their German-themed Christmas Open House.
