Penn State campuses with ROTC
programs attend this yearly event.
After an eight hour drive, the

weekend of tactical training to
prepare them for summer camp.

and get linens to make up their
bunks.
The cadets were given classes

the details for these services since
1987 fall semester," said Campus
Ministry Board President Pastor
Ray Sines. "Rev. Ronald Garrett,
Pastor of the Messiah Lutheran
Church and Campus Ministry
Board Treasurer, and I began with
a Protestant worship survey to
see how many Behrend students
would be interested in an on
campus service."
All the Protestant pastors on
the Campus Ministry Board have
volunteered to conduct the
services on a rotational basis.
These ministers are Rev. Charles

Baptist Church; Rev. Ronald
Garrett, Pastor of Messiah
