CUC Grad is New Pastor at College Heights SDA Church

Masiel Davilla, the newest pastor at the College Heights SDA Church, 

presented the message, "We're All a Little Messy," at 

Opening Convocation.

The speaker at 2nd semester's Opening Convocation was Masiel Davila, the new pastor for nurture, visitation and training at the College Heights SDA Church. Using very humorous examples from her own life, Pastor Davila explained how all of us have "messy lives," but the Good News is Jesus loves to help us no matter how messy our life is.

Pastor Davila, who completed her MDiv at the Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University in December, earned her bachelor's degree with a major in religious studies and a minor in counselling at CUC in 2005.  Born in the warm country of Nicaragua, Pastor Davila moved with her family to Saskatchewan as a child.  

Maj-Britt Rusk has gone on 42 Marantha trips since 2000.

Other highlights of Opening Convocation were: A Chopin prelude played by Nicole Thorp, singing the school song, special music by Enoch Attey, a poetry recitation by Marthe-Paul Jerry, and Dr. Haynal's interview with CUC Archivist Maj-Britt Rusk.  Mrs. Rusk started going on Maranatha trips in 2000 when she was 73 years old.  Nearly 12 years later she has completed 42 trips!
