12 Hours of Christmas
While "12 Days of Christmas" is an oft-sung carol of the season, Geneva College students, faculty and staff look forward to the 12 Hours of Christmas. This annual event brings the campus together for a time of fun activity, friendly competition and Christmas joy from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the Friday before finals week in December. The Geneva campus community enjoys Christmas trivia, caroling, cookies, coffee, cocoa, a photo booth, riddles, gingerbread house building, stories and songs, a community dinner and a student Christmas party.
Events like 12 Hours of Christmas bring out the best of the people of Geneva and remind all of the blessing of having a Christian community in which to study and work. Perhaps the best way to communicate the feeling of the day is through a photo essay where the looks on the faces of the participants tell the story. We hope you enjoy it and have a Merry Christmas!

This peace has been carelessly pushed aside and forgotten, replaced by the hectic festivities we now call Christmas.
Jesus was born to redeem us and to provide an opportunity for us to, once again, commune with God. More...
