Repairs to the area around the west entrance of Olson Campus Center are nearly complete. Finishing touches are being done this week: ceiling woodwork and electrical, removing enclosures from windows, installing flashing on ramp.

Let’s be honest: Wednesday could be a rough day for a lot of people. There are two heavy realities at play that day. Not only is it the day after the election, it is also the day that we will observe All Saint’s Day in chapel. So we want to create a space where we can gather as the community of Christ to find comfort in two ways. First, join us in the chapel at 11:00 a.m. for a service of remembrance and worship where we will find hope in the resurrection. Second, join us immediately following chapel for a soup and salad lunch. This will be a simple time of mutual support around the lunch table. Come for one, or both! And know that you are in our prayers.
