Note from the Editor’s Desk:
Hello everyone! Welcome back for your fifth week of studies at Emmanuel Bible College. I hope you will enjoy reading this issue of the Voice as much as I had. In this issue we have a devotional by Jesse Goulet, a poem by Rachel Schrader, Voice on the Street by Lyndsay Prowd, a Skillet Review by James Fretz (or Fretzy), “Bridal College” article by Wesley Hague, “Bubble” article by Mark Dakin and a little bit of news from Robbie Oleniuk about what’s going on with the Spiritual Life Committee. Our spotlight of the week is on EBC’s very own Melissa Doerr, our Student Council President.

On a side note, does anyone else notice the “fresh-leaf” smell on the school campus? I have to say out of all the seasons, Fall has to be one of my favourites. It’s not just the smell though; it’s the whole process of the trees shedding their leaves. In Victoria, BC there is no massive leaf-colour change; in fact the Arbutus trees mock the coming “winter” with their flowers that bloom during the rainy season (a.k.a. winter). For me though, the falling leaves symbolize change. Everything changes around you in life; fashion, government, opinions. I picture myself as a tree, as the seasons change and the leaves fall to the ground, so do the things in life that you once thought were important. However, if you hold true to the ground that supports you in Jesus Christ you will grow, despite the weather changes and your falling leaves. The more we grow, the more we learn in Christ, the more solid we will become as a Christians. I hope you have a great week and enjoy reading this week’s issue.
