The university chaplains invite one and all from Loma Linda University Health to attend University @ Worship, held Wednesdays from 11 to 11:50 a.m. at Loma Linda University Church. This year, the theme, Connect+ED, focuses on bringing students and faculty together with intentional purpose.
Campus chaplain Terry Swenson, DMin, explains:
"Everyone loves a story. Stories remind us of where we come from, whom we belong to and who we are. Stories are the connective tissues that bind us together. The story of the Bible tells a compelling narrative of a true God who loves His children, establishing a way of salvation and providing a route to eternity. The narrative uncovers the God of grace who speaks, listens, acts, loves and sacrifices His only Son, Jesus, to connect us back to Him.
The chapels for the 2016-2017 school year will explore connectedness through the scriptures and life of Jesus. Swenson quotes Jesus’s words in John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
