"Team Leadership" is theme

“Team Leadership” is the theme for the worship service this Sunday morning at the First Mennonite Church, 900 W. Market St., Nappanee. According to Pastor Dick Yoder, “Team leadership is an important concept in the scriptures. Seemingly, this is true for a number of reasons, such as the problem of loneliness and isolation, checks and balances in decision making, and diversity of gifts. “The Christian understanding of the Triune God is a good example of this. There are three distant persons while

Designated gifts total *591,508

December was “designated gifts month” at Goshen College, announced college relations administrators in a report relesed Tuesday, Jan. 13. Three major designated gifts pushed the December total to $591,508. Two of the gifts were designated for the college’s endowment fund, and third provided support for the China exchange program. In addition, the college also received bequests from two estates in December totaling $70,000. * V “Without question, December was an outstanding month for contributions, and we are most encouraged and grateful,” said Alice Roth, acting director of college relations. “It is important to note, though, that designated gifts and bequests do not immediately figure into the operating budget, which is our bread-and-butter from year to year.” Roth noted that the college, now halfway • into its fiscal year, has received almost 53 percent of its sl.lß million goal, for the operating fund. “That’s a good start towards balancing the budget for the 42nd consecutive year,” she said. While, college administrators are optimistic about the mid-year contribution report, the enrollment numbers give cause for some concern. Approximately 1,080 full-time students began classes in January, down more than 70 from fall totals. “A drop of 50 to 40 students between the fall and winter trimesters is normal,” said John Nyce, registrar. His figures show that the increased dropoff this year reflects the fact that more students graduated in December and fewer new students entered in January than usual. “In some ways we may feel the impact of this drop more next falUhan now," Nyce pointe'd out. “We will have an unusually large number of graduates this year and/had a smaller freshman class enrolled last fall. Those factors will have a great bearing on our enrollment in September."
