Church and Community Activities

Throughout the existence of Nabor House, the commitment to serve God and fellow man has been distinctively present. The will to do so has been manifested by participation in a wide array of church activities, ranging from attendance at worship services to singing in a choir, teaching Sunday School, serving as an officer in a student group, and the list could go on almost endlessly.

Participation in religious activities has not been restricted to the corporate church but has embraced a broad spectrum of service and spiritual growth activities. Early in the life of the house, weekly vespers were held and have continued more or less regularly to now. Devotional readings and the practice of returning thanks at the evening meal also started in the early years of the house.

Over the first decade or so, membership was usually 100 percent in the YMCA, and many of the members participated in the "Y's" campus-wide Fireside Forum. Some led Bible studies in Greed fraternities, and in some years, Bible study groups formed within Nabor House. In the past two decades or so, many of the men have actively participated in Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Navigators, and Christian Athletes in Action.

Reaching out to help the less fortunate in the community and on the campus has been a hallmark of the young men living in Nabor House. The diversity of their efforts and the kinds of support they have given seemingly never reaches an end. They walked for hunger, read to blind students, worked for the Red Cross Blood Drive, helped with therapy for paralyzed youth, assisted with senior citizen's programs and Children's Home, participated in an escort service for women students on the southeast part of campus, helped raise money for the American Cancer Society and Campus Chest, and have been a part of many other causes.

In the spring of 1969, Nabor House received the top Campus Chest Award, and had the honor of hosting Sharon Mitchel, Miss Illinois 1969, as a dinner guest who presented the award. The Illio recognized Nabor House for leading the Campus Chest Drive in `1970, too. Then, in 1973, the house received a trophy for having the highest contribution per person in the campus chest drive.
