Annual Alumni Day

Bethlehem Bible College invited alumni to attend a reunion on November 19, 2014. The event began at 4:00 pm with a reception in the Bishara Awad Centre, where alumni mingled with each other and their teachers and enjoyed light refreshments.   This was followed by a program in the auditorium which included a special debke performance by the Fariq el Ghad dance troupe from Beit Sahour, and special music by alumna, Inad Saba.  The program was formally opened with a word of welcome and prayer by Dr. Bishara Awad, president emeritus of Bethlehem Bible College.  Rev. Dr. Jack Sara, president, welcomed the 90 alumni, faculty and academic staff in attendance and encouraged everyone to keep in touch.  Dr. Hanna Katanacho, academic dean, welcomed everyone with a short message highlighting their role as salt and light in their communities.  After a time of singing together, Miss Grace Zoughbi spoke of the development of the college since its inauguration.  Finally, Dr. Munther Isaac led a discussion among the alumni to explore how they might support each other and be involved.  To this end, 10 alumni volunteered to serve on a committee to plan future meetings and workshops.   A special dinner was served to all of the guests in the college dining room to conclude a most enjoyable time of fellowship and reminiscing.
