Are you looking for a good Lenten devotional? d365 is a website that was developed in partnership with the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Episcopal Church, and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. While there are devotionals for every day of the year, their Lenten series is called Journey to the Cross. Try it out between now and Easter. Let us know what you think.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

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).

Dinner & Worship This Sunday

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!

80’s Interfaith Dance Party

At the Montreat College Conference earlier this month, we explored the idea of interfaith understanding and its importance for our Christian faith. As a result, some of the students decided to host an 80’s Interfaith Dance Party at the PSC. We invited every religious group that we could find on campus. In the end, we had some Lutherans, Baptists, and a Bahai show up. Moreover, we started a dialogue with several other groups that were not able to attend, but who appreciated what we were doing.

As ridiculous as it is to join together with people of other faiths to dance to “Thriller,” I think that the world would be a better place if this was a regular occurrence. Maybe Jerusalem could use an Interfaith Dance Party…

Dawgs for Haiti

Andy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:22:57 +0000

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.
