                                     	      The HC students brought to life the Biblical saga of Joseph
                                     by creating a story within a story. The first story is set in a youth
                                     detention facility and involves a young man (Joseph) who is just
                                     arriving. While he is there, he gets bullied by other members of
                                     the detention facility and is befriended by a priest. When all hope
                                     seems lost, the priest gives Joseph a book and the story of Joseph
                                     comes to life.

                                     country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll,
                                     this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

    Serving others and witnessing firsthand the diseases, poverty, and abuse that
    children endure in other countries is a humbling experience. That is what Lo-
    ren Thomas, a 2011 graduate told the students during a recent chapel service.
    Loren recently returned from East Africa after an 8 month mission trip with
    Empower a Child, a non-profit Christian organization based in Uganda and
    Kenya. During her mission, Loren worked with children, building churches,
    sharing the gospel, singing songs and feeding the hungry among many other
    opportunities that helped her share God’s love and be blessed by the abun-
    dance of His spirit.
                                                                                                                                 “Something To Lean On”
    Unlike many high school graduates who spend their first year experiencing the
    ins and outs of college life, Loren found herself exploring ways to keep the bugs out of her food and how to navigate
                                               the streets Zirobwe and Kibera without getting lost. “It was easier to blend                                                                     Ashley Mitchell & Alex Zumberge

The HC students brought to life the Biblical saga of Joseph by creating a story within a story. The first story is set in a youth detention facility and involves a young man (Joseph) who is just arriving. While he is there, he gets bullied by other members of the detention facility and is befriended by a priest. When all hope seems lost, the priest gives Joseph a book and the story of Joseph comes to life. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless. 10 11 Spring 2012 Spring 2012
