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!

Join us for dinner and worship this Sunday. As with every Sunday, a free dinner is served at 6:15p. After dinner, we will worship in the Chapel at 7p. Worship services at the Presbyterian Student Center always include communion. After worship, you are welcome to stay around for dessert and fellowship. We hope to see you on Sunday!

Near 100 student organizations at the University of Georgia have joined together to form Dawgs for Haiti, an organization dedicated to mobilizing students to help in the relief efforts following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on Jan. 12. Currently, Dawgs for Haiti is raising funds online and through the sale of tee shirts. These funds will be split between Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross. Tee shirts are on sale in Tate plaza–check the Facebook group for details.

Our prayers are with the people of Haiti and those who are working to bring relief. All are welcome to join us in worship on Sunday as we pray together. Also, our Chapel is open from 9a-5p during the week for prayer and ministry staff is always here during that time to pray with you.

In the wake of this tragedy, we believe that God is calling out to us from Haiti. Join us as we answer that call as a community of faith while seeking the Kingdom of God for the people of Haiti.

As this week progresses, we are increasingly distressed by the news that is coming out of Haiti following the earthquake. Join us this Sunday for worship at 7p as we offer our prayers for the people of Haiti. If you are looking for a way to give, please visit Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

In the coming days, student leaders at the University of Georgia will be launching a campaign to aid the people of Haiti called “Dawgs for Haiti.” We will give details when we know more. סֶלָה
