Spring Break is on the Horizon!

“What the soul is to the body, that Christians are to the world.” -Diognetus

Announcements:

1) If you are still here in Abilene over Spring Break, there will still be Bible Study for you at 10:30am in the Allen Room on Sundays!

2) There is no FREE! Meal on March 10th or the 17th.

3) College Leadership will be hosting the Easter Experience on March 26th in the Cafe from 7-11pm. The Easter Experience is a self-guided journey of reflection and restoration. From a prayer labyrinth, to continuous worship, to a place of solitude and journaling, each station will offer you a new way to experience the Lord's presence.

4) Spring Break is almost here! Let's remember to keep anyone traveling over the break in our prayers. Let us know if there is something specific you would like us to pray about!

Have a good day. :)
