The vibrant and impactful Health Awareness Week at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ successfully concluded today, marking a week of intensive health education, screening, and community engagement aimed at promoting holistic well-being among students, staff, and the surrounding community.

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Convocation Hall was filled with an atmosphere of worship, reflection, and spiritual renewal during the University's weekly mid-week chapel service. The gathering was further enriched by a special celebration marking the birthday of the Acting University Provost, Rev. Justus Mutuku, who was honoured by the university community during the service.

The sermon was delivered by Rev. Laban Kittony under the theme, "Growth Through Faith: Deepening Spiritual Roots," drawing from Hebrews 5:12–14. In his message, Rev. Kittony unpacked five foundational pillars of spiritual maturity, guiding the congregation through a deeper understanding of growing in grace, remaining grounded in God's Word, being guided by godly wisdom, guarding against sin, and cultivating meaningful Christian fellowship.

He emphasized that spiritual growth requires intentionality and commitment. Highlighting the importance of fellowship, he noted that believers thrive when they function as one body in Christ, supporting one another through love, unity, and selfless care.

The message challenged students and staff to examine their personal walk with God and firmly establish their identity in Christ as the foundation for overcoming the distractions and pressures of the modern world. Drawing from 2 Peter 3:18 and Romans 6:11–12, Rev. Kittony reminded the congregation that spiritual stability comes through grace, enabling believers to stand firm in faith and walk in willing obedience to God.

A special moment during the service was the celebration of the birthday of the Acting University Provost, Rev. Justus Mutuku. Members of the university community joined in expressing their appreciation for his faithful leadership, spiritual guidance, and dedicated service to ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ, offering prayers and warm wishes as he marked another year of God's grace and favour.

Following the sermon, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat, addressed the congregation and offered the benediction. He encouraged students to remain consistent in their spiritual lives by actively participating in chapel services, emphasizing that such gatherings provide essential spiritual nourishment for both academic and personal growth. The Vice-Chancellor also urged members of the Kabarak family to remain steadfast in prayer and concluded by inviting the entire university community to the upcoming Sunday Baptism Service, describing it as a wonderful opportunity to witness the continued spiritual transformation taking place within the institution.

The atmosphere at the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Chapel today was nothing short of heavenly. A profound sense of peace, unity, and reverence filled the sanctuary as students, faculty, and staff from the Main Campus gathered for a deeply moving Holy Communion Service. It was a special opportunity to pause from the demands of academic life and come together in gratitude, reflecting on God’s unwavering faithfulness and the many milestones we have achieved as a university community throughout this fruitful year.

Today, we officially commenced a week-long orientation programme for our newly admitted students, marking the beginning of an important transition into university life at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ.

ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ continues to strengthen its commitment to student welfare and academic excellence through a comprehensive review of the Students' Handbook for the 2026–2030 period.

ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ today held its first Wednesday Chapel Service of the semester, bringing together students, staff, and members of the University community for a time of worship and spiritual encouragement.
