OCF Student Advisory Board Meets

During the weekend of September 29 – October 2, 2005 the Student Advisory Board of the Orthodox Christian Fellowship met at the Antiochian Village for their fall meeting. The weekend coincided with the annual St. Thekla and St. Raphael pilgrimage led by His Grace Bishop Thomas of Oakland, providing many moments of spiritual refreshment for the group. Nicholas Belcher , the Assistant Director of the Office of Vocation and Ministry, led the students in a reflection on the twelfth chapter of the Epistle to the Corinthians and a role-play activity utilizing what they learned about themselves by taking StengthsQuest. Nicholas also led a discussion on the “Vocation of Leadership” using clips from the movie Spiderman 2. The Student Advisory Board was also made aware of mini-grants from the office to OCF chapters interested in developing vocation programs on their campuses. The weekend was a great opportunity for these student leaders to get to know one another and to bond as a team.
