Aome Jacob Angeles – Loveland, Colorado … The first week of the school year at Campion Academy (CA) in Loveland, Colorado, was wrapped up with a special dedication Sabbath service, as well as a big potluck lunch for the church and students.

The pews in Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church were filled with both new and returning students alike. The church formally welcomed and introduced CA’s new staff, and a special prayer of dedication was said for staff and students.

Koinonia also had their first performance of the year, singing “One” for special music.

Teagan P., a returning senior student and Koinonia member, shared her thoughts on their first performance: “I felt very excited to get back performing with Koinonia again. It felt really different not having last year’s seniors in the group, but we are so excited for the new members. We had a great performance, and I can’t wait for the year ahead.”

Church service concluded with a school-wide potluck on Campion’s Center Campus, giving church members and students the opportunity to connect. It was a sunny afternoon, and people gathered in groups, chattering over their meals as kids raced around the field.

Merlina R., a returning senior student, shared her appreciation for the potluck, saying, “It felt great being with all my friends and watching the mini soccer game the boys were playing. The food was also very good, especially the dessert.”
