"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (NIV, John 3:16).

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (NIV, Romans 8:38-39).

Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward

Say to them,
say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.

Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.

Dear English Majors & Friends ~ A lovely invitation from our Sigma Tau Delta Co-President, Elaina Ahmed! Please read on.

***Library Bookbinding Event for English Majors/Sigma Tau Delta***

"Hello English Majors!
We have an incredible resource in the library - don't worry, it's not what you're thinking. It's a book binder! Have you ever wondered how the books you pore over are bound? Or how they're repaired after you've enjoyed them countless times? Well, Sigma Tau Delta is going to be hosting an event with Mr. Jack Morgan in the library to show us just those things!
Mr. Morgan is an early bird, so this event must take place early in the afternoon on a weekday. His workspace is also smaller, only allowing room for up to four guests. With this being said, if you are interested in coming to his workshop, please let us know which day and at what time you'd be available (he'll be there no later than 3pm).
It's such a blessing to have this resource on campus that is willing to share his talent with us. You won't want to miss a great opportunity!"

Check out some paid and volunteer opportunities at the Camp and Ministry Fair on February 4th...

Happy 1st Friday of the semester!

Thank God for HIS everlasting LOVE!

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (NKJV, Romans 8:31).

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WELCOME TO SPRING 2016!

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" (ESV, Romans 12:1-2).

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord" (KJV, Luke 2:11).

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

"God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our Guide even to the end" (Psalm 48:14).
