FEN WEEK: April 13th - 17th

From Every Nation

Revelation 7:9: “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.”

What is FEN Week?

FEN week is about celebrating the FEN document's message, increasing awareness of its content, and exploring meaningful ways to bring it to life on campus.

We are fostering a campus environment where everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging, showing that our community celebrates our diversity, and celebrating our neighbors from all over the world.
