CCO staff member Wendy McConnell works with students at La Roche College. Every Tuesday, the CCO hosts a fellowship group designed to encourage Christian students on campus and to interest the pre-believer. Nine.Thirty.Seven Fellowship consists of group-building, worship and messages designed to encourage Christian students to maintain and grow in their personal faith. We hope to help students see how faith relates to every area of life. Wendy puts a premium on building and maintaining strong relationships with those who attend Nine.Thirty.Seven and reach out to make new friends through involvement in college activities and sharing meals on and off campus.
In the LRC Campus Ministry Department, Wendy helps Sister Elena Almendarez with the Service Learning Club. Club activities include working with the homeless, socializing animals in local shelters, and serving retired nuns living at the Mother House. Wendy provides transportation and helps students to put their faith into action.
In order to “transform college students to transform the world,” much time and effort is given to training and giving ownership to student leaders. Student leaders are sought out to help run Nine.Thirty.Seven Fellowship and plan future events and topics, including promoting the annual Jubilee conference. Wendy also helps plan the Campus Ministry Department’s annual Alternative Spring Break service trip. Recent trips include serving the Katrina-ravaged areas of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana.
to develop men and women who live out their Christian faith in every area of life.
