Week of Prayer 2011
Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences (FHCHS) held its annual Week of Prayer celebration the week of March 28-April 1, 2011. Due to unseasonably rainy weather all week, the celebration was held in the Student Lounge where it was standing room only all week. This year’s theme for Week of Prayer was “Tension is Good.” FHCHS chaplains Reynold Acosta and Bill Crofton assembled an eclectic mix of speakers that ranged from Nursing student, Eden Henry, to Florida Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer, Brian Paradis. Each day’s speaker would examine personal and spiritual growth that can come with the “tension” that occurs in one’s life.
