Pam Lah – Loveland, Colorado … The staff members and students at Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, dedicated themselves and the new school year to God during the first Sabbath service of the year, August 16.

On August 15, they assembled for a “vesper deluxe,” which is when the students gather to sing and worship in the tower after the regular vespers service. A new senior student, Kelly Borne, stated, “As my first time at vespers deluxe, I felt the presence of God. I loved singing in the tower with everyone. It will probably be my favorite memory this year.”

A new junior student from Japan, Mao Tsumagari, commented, “It was exciting to dress up and seeing everyone dressed up too. I enjoyed singing songs with the other students.”

During the Sabbath service at the Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church, August 16, new staff members and the Koinonia choir were introduced and shared the school year’s theme song, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.” Campion church members, HMS Richards Adventist School family members, and Campion Academy students then joined together for a potluck meal on the Campion campus.

“The food was amazing, and being able to talk to members of the church was fun,” Sergio Enriques, a senior student, summarized.
