Bethel University students worship during chapel service, Wednesday Sept. 25, 2024. The “Come and See” Chapel series is a deep dive into the Gospel of John, beckoning students to experience the fullness of the Lord. “For the first time, at Bethel, the entire community is studying the Gospel of John. We’re doing the same thing, talking the same language, pursuing and asking to hear from God using the same content. It unifies our campus in a unique and neat way,” campus pastor, Nick Cocalis, said.

Royals defenders Jacob Holmen, Caden DeWall and Kolin Baier swarm Coe College quarterback Brady Kelly for a sack during Bethel’s 31-26 NCAA playoff victory Saturday. The trio combined for eight of Bethel’s ten sacks during the game, holding Coe to 22 total rushing yards. “That was fun,” Bethel head coach and defensive play caller Mike McElroy said. “Those guys have kind of been the anchor all year for us.”

The Royals 2024 record now sits at 8-2 after falling 41-33 in the MIAC championship game to St.John’s University. “I was just proud of our guys battling, and came up short,” Bethel head coach Mike McElroy said. “And got to find ways to make plays and big stuff happen, and we made one less big play today than they did.”

Director of European Americans in Solidarity Madelynn Hollander listens to a fellow student. After participating in the workshop, she expressed the importance of taking a closer look at her own perspective. “We’ve all been born with assumptions and understanding where we’ve come from can help a lot,” Hollander said.

Bethel students Jasmine Printy and Caroline Wittenburg converse at the workshop. Through presentations and conversations, they learned how to better understand their culture and identity. Several group discussions were held throughout the day for people to have a chance to voice their opinions. “It’s not something that can even happen in a workshop,” Barbee said. “It takes a lot of thought and self-reflection.”

Director of Healing Roots Janice Barbee presents her discussion material to Bethel students. Barbee organized the content covered and guided the discussion Saturday Oct. 27. “Everyone has a culture and the more you study it the more you see the richness of them,” she said.

Lily Pirila responds to one of the topics during the workshop. Pirila had the opportunity to engage with the presenter and other students, taking time to read and reflect on European cultural roots. “One of our major barriers to really working together is if everybody else sees themselves as having a cultural understanding and… you see yourself outside of that, like you’re universal,” Barbee said.
