BIBLE LANDS STUDY TOUR

Let us tell you a little about where we are going. We’ll travel to southern Israel where we will experience places like the Dead Sea, Masada, and Qumran.  In that area we will have camel ride into the desert like Abraham for an overnight with Bedouins. We will then move to northern Israel and Galilee. Highlights will include Capernaum, Caesarea on the Sea and ancient Dan. We will also share worship together as part of a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Our tour will climax in Jerusalem, the heart of the Holy Land. History will surround us as we walk in the steps of David, Nehemiah and Christ. Our last day, we will retrace the final ministry, sacrifice and resurrection of Christ. We’ll move from His healing of the lame at the Pool of Bethesda, to the prayer in Gethsemane and on to Calvary and the Open Tomb. Unforgettable. These are just a few of the amazing places we will enjoy together. If you want to see more of the sites on the tour and extension, check out our info meeting or come see us personally.

THE MAILROOM

As many of you have already experienced, the Mailroom began (9-14-15)  a new ID policy. Don’t worry it’s not to make your life miserable, really. It’s actually designed to make your mailroom experience easier (yours and my student workers) and to ensure we are doing our job and instilling good habits on your end….you should be carrying your ID with you while on campus at all times. I appreciate and thank all of you who are cooperating and understanding of our new policy. Please remember we won’t release any mail/packages unless you have your ID with you, even if we know you.

On another note, the winner of our first Mailroom contest was Heather Halfman.

The contest was to guess how many packages for students were delivered the first week of school without going over. There were a total of 1822! Heather came the closest without going over, 1729. Congratulations Heather!

#CORBANMADENEW

As we prepare for a new school year, we encourage you to begin reflecting on this year’s theme: “Made New.” Our verse for this theme is 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”

Together as a community, we will explore the concept of redemption and newness through Christ and what that means in our daily Christian life.

Dr. Matt Lucas explained the theme this way: “We long for redemption; we desire to shed off our burdens and old skin and become new. Our culture’s offer of newness is an ever-receding and fleeting ideal of beauty and youth. Unfortunately, when we come to faith in Christ, we are susceptible to trading one pursuit of newness for another: the siren song of legalism tempts us to be made new by trusting in a list of rules or our own attempts at perfection. But true newness is an act of redeeming creation. God makes us new through his Son as we grow in his likeness.”

IMPORTANT DATES

The new school year is almost here! Some important dates to remember:

Aug. 1-21– Various Student Leader Training
Fri., Aug. 14 – Early Registration (by invitation only)
Tue., Aug. 25 – Returning Student Registration

CORBAN IS THE PLACE TO BE…

You love Corban… and so do the 330 new students who will be joining us on campus this fall! We are excited to be welcoming a record number of both returning and new students to campus. That means more new friends, more adventures, and more happening on campus than ever. Get ready!

WHILE YOU WERE AWAY…

Campus has been full of activity this summer. You might notice some fresh paint and landscaping and new sidewalks when you return.

We’ve also had students of all ages on campus for Worldview Academy, Corban’s annual theater camp, and a variety of sports camps. It’s been fun, but we’re ready to have you back on campus to kick off another great school year. See you soon!
