That's a wrap! It's been another fantastic year full of God's rich blessing and living together in community. We've compiled just a few of the highlights for you here.
1. PHC's Virtual March for Life

Each January, a good number of the student body would normally participate in the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., but the unique circumstances of the pandemic prevented Patrick Henry College students from attending the event. That didn't stop the student body from taking a stand to defend life in the womb.
PHC campus decided to host their very own mini March For Life event . The event was organized by students like senior Danielle Bliven, freshman Christian Castro, sophomore Lydia Heykamp, and the administration. Attendance was not mandatory but encouraged, and students filled the bleachers. Faculty and off-campus students sat in chairs on the gym floor six feet apart.
Some stories are too important to keep in the dark. This time, students would hear the stories of Ryan Bomberger and Christine Kalmbach and their unique personal stories of life.

2. Dr. Farris Participates in a Town Hall Event with Family Research Council
Dr. Michael Farris joined with Pastor Gary Hamrick, the Family Research Council, and Cornerstone Chapel to host a “Pray, Vote, Stand” Town Hall earlier this month. Led by FRC's President, Tony Perkins, the event addressed questions on how Christians can be good citizens in the context of a 2021 United States.
3. Big Win for Men's Soccer

The Patrick Henry College Sentinels have a long history of competition against Christendom. For nine years, the Men’s Soccer Team has challenged but fallen to Christendom, much to the chagrin of PHC’s students. Last fall, PHC came very close to a win, but that game ultimately ended with a two-point loss. This year marks a turning point in PHC sports. Last Tuesday, PHC's Men's Team finally defeated Christendom; setting the final score at 3-2.
