Dear Eagles,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are now in the final weeks of the semester and the holiday home stretch! This week, we have the Christmas Tree Lighting, Christmas on the Heights, and you can catch the BC Theater Department's production of “A Christmas Carol" to get into the holiday spirit. Campus Ministry has plenty of Advent prayer opportunities, and Agape Latte is right around the corner! As we approach finals, we have some study day events planned for you next week.
Yours in Community,
