This fall we will be continuing our Faith Flicks program every other Thursday night, starting this coming Thursday, August 19th. Faith Flicks is a chance to get together and watch funny, challenging, and/or heart-wrenching movies that make you think a little deeper about your faith. We always have a great time. Here’s the line-up for our Fall semester:

August 19th                    Saved!
September 2nd               The Blindside
September 16th              Pray the Devil Back to Hell
September 30th             Babette’s Feast
October 14th                   For the Bible Tells Me So
October 28th                  Lars & the Real Girl
November 11th              Why We Fight (Veteran’s Day)
November 25th              No Movie (Thanksgiving Break)
December 2nd                The Nativity Story

Faith Flicks will be shown in the TV Room at the Presbyterian Student Center, and each flick will begin promptly at 8pm. If you have any questions about Faith Flicks, contact Stephen Morgan at sjmorgan@uga.edu. See y’all on the couches.

We sent out about 600 postcards this week, including at least one to every PC(USA) congregation in the state of Georgia. We wanted to let people know about our change to a Tuesday night worship service and hopefully have pastors, DCE’s, and youth directors refer their students to us. This is the same postcard that we have been giving out to incoming freshman at orientation. If you are interested in receiving a postcard or having someone else receive a postcard, then please send me an address (andy@pscuga.org). Or, you could ask me to send some postcards your way and you can send them out or hand them out. We’re looking forward to worshiping together with everyone again on August 17!

April and May were busy, but good, months at the PSC. We returned from our Spring Retreat and finished the semester strong.

On April 25, we hosted High School Night at the Presbyterian Student Center (see picture). We had high school students from Oconee Presbyterian, Friendship Presbyterian, Covenant Presbyterian, and Alpharetta Presbyterian join us for dinner and worship. It was great to have high schoolers worshiping with college students and for them to see that it is possible to be in college and be a person of deep faith. All together, we had about 75 people there.

The following week, we had our graduates’ night. We celebrated those who had been a part of our community and who were be sent on to other places. It’s difficult to say goodbye, but it’s also a joy to send these students on to the next chapter in their lives.

Finals week followed. We had a great “study break” with pizza, games, etc. (see picture) early in finals week. By the end of the week, the PSC was empty as students left to go home, go to summer jobs, etc.

For those that are in town over the summer, we will have a Bible study on Tuesdays at 6p beginning on June 8 and going through July. Staff will also be around for orientation and other events over the summer, but we won’t have regular hours. If we don’t week you around this summer, we hope to see you on August!

We had a great time tonight at the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. Our friends from the Episcopal Center, the Evangelical Lutherans, and the Disciples on Campus joined us. We had an army of cooks in the kitchen working on pancakes and bacon. Father Dann brought a king cake with the stipulation that the ministry of the person who found the baby would be responsible for the king cake and the Ash Wednesday sermon next year. Of course, one of our students found it. Thanks to everyone who came out! We’ll see you tomorrow at the Ash Wednesday service (5p at the Episcopal Center).
