College of Health & Human Services Vespers 2014

The College of Health & Human Services (CHHS) Club has had two vespers programs so far this year, one that was led by faculty and staff and one that was entirely student led. The first vespers, held in September, was held in PMC Commons where CHHS club members enjoyed a delicious haystack dinner and the company of their classmates. The club members also brainstormed ways they can be more active in the community and use the skills they are learning in class to be of service. The second vespers was held in January in Dining Services and club members led the program through singing and speaking. It certainly is a great experience to come together as a group of future health professionals and praise God for all of the gifts and talents He has given us.
