Spiritual Emphasis Week (SEW) is coming up soon (October 6-9 to be exact), and your creative minds and hard-working hands are needed. For two years the School of Professional Studies operated with a very small contingent to make this special event available to students and staff of the Portland Center. Several students decided to become a Jesus follower during these sessions, and many more were enriched in their faith.

We really need your help in developing SEW. Some of you already expressed a strong interest in doing so. If you can be involved, please come to an organizational meeting on Monday, August 11 at noon in Room 155a. This first meeting will be brief, but I hope we can do some really effective brainstorming.

Please let me know if you plan on joining the team, if so, an agenda will come your way soon.

Thanks!
