Janet and Dennis will share stories about people they met during the many years they lived in China, and what those people are doing today. You are welcome to come, listen, ask questions and be encouraged. International Chapel is eligible for chapel elective credit. Its purpose is to help us better understand what it means to be a Christian. Everyone is invited to attend.

The university’s theatre department invites you to join us for our winter musical, Parade. Shows are scheduled in Wood-Mar Auditorium Jan. 30 through Feb. 2 and Feb. 6-9. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m. with the exception of the two Sunday matinees (Feb. 2 and 9), which begin at 2 p.m.

Synopsis: Based on historical events in Atlanta in 1913, Parade dramatizes the racially charged trial of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager who is wrongly accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl under his employ. As the press and the public call for his execution, Leo learns to rely on the power of love in the midst of injustice. Winner of the 1999 Tony Awards for Best Book (Alfred Uhry) and Best Original Musical Score (Robert Brown), Parade is a dynamic and powerful musical that will take your breath away.

University employees receive one complimentary ticket to any of the shows; students may attend either of the Thursday performances for free.
