week at a glance

So, one of the things we want to do with this blog is keep you all updated on all the awesome things to do on campus. So, without further ado, here is the week at a glance:

Tuesday Jan 25:

8:45-9:20 am  

Chapel breakfast: juice, coffee, cereal, muffins, and good conversation. Pretty much the best start to a morning. 

At the CBTE across from first free methodist

9:30-10:20 am

Chapel: We’re going through the book of Matthew this quarter. There’s a lot to learn, and both the music and the message are consistently quality. 

At First Free Methodist.

Wednesday Jan 26:

7:30-10 am      

Pancake Breakfast: The Collegium is holding a pancake breakfast for off-campus and campus housing/apartments students. Drop in anytime and get some free food. 

In the Collegium.

7-9 pm             

Men’s Basketball: This game is a big deal. It’s being televised on FSN, which is huge for a division II school. Go cheer on our Falcons! 

At Royal Brougham Pavilion.

8:30-9:45 pm   

Group: Absolutely amazing worship experience. If you can get on campus for this, I highly recommend it. 

In upper Gwinn.

Thursday Jan 27:

12:30-1:15 pm 

Thursday Food For Thought: Three professors discussing “The Spirit of Food.” If you’ve got some time off from class, there’s always good stuff to be learned here. 

In the Library Reading Room.

7 pm                

Palmer Lecture: Every year SPU brings in prominent theologians to teach us some of what they know. If you want to hear something remarkably interesting, come to this. It’s sure to be interesting. 

In Upper Gwinn.

7:30 pm           

Godspell: I’ve seen this play. It is phenomenal. Possibly the best production I’ve seen at SPU yet. Well worth your time and money. At the SPU theater. Tickets are $10 for students and senior citizens, $12 for other people. Buy them here: http://www.spu.edu/depts/fpa/theatre/box_office.asp

It’s also showing at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday, and there’s a matinee on Saturday at 2 pm.

On the horizon:

Friday Feb 4: Commuter Lunch! Free food in the SUB gazebo room. 12-1 pm.

Saturday Feb 5: Latreia Service Day! 8 am – 2 pm. Serve alongside your fellow SPU students!

Upcoming Concerts!
Thursday Feb 3 - 8:30-midnight
Sea Fever album release show! This band is phenomenal, and they are from SPU. They're releasing their first album, "Go Find Your Love," at this show. It's at the Tractor Tavern, so it's a 21 or over show. If you're old enough, I can't recommend this show highly enough.
Here's a sample of their music: http://soundcloud.com/sea-fever/go-find-your-love
Also playing: The Courage and Pablo Trucker.

Saturday Feb 5 - 8-11:30 pm
Fundraiser Concert for Treehouse for Kids: 8-11:30 pm. Us on Roofs, Fox and the Law, Pocket Panda, and Shotty are doing a benefit concert at Q Cafe. It's only 8 dollars and it goes to a great cause. Also, the music will be great, and they have good coffee!

Welcome Back!

            Welcome back, everyone. To go along with the new year and new quarter, this blog now has a new author. Joshua, the previous author, had to step down from his responsibility due to an overloaded schedule, and unlike me, he actually is responsible enough to make sure he can get his homework done. On that note, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Mark Ableidinger. I’m a Junior living in the Emerson apartments. I’m majoring in sociology, minoring in psychology and Christian scriptures, and my favorite color is blue. I enjoy long walks on the beach, long walks in the rain, long walks in the snow, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, and playing Frisbee for hours. I spend most of my time procrastinating, reading, and listening to random podcasts I find on the internet. My favorite book I’ve read in the last year is Child of God by Cormac McCarthy, my favorite TV show is the Colbert Report, favorite movie is Once, and my favorite band is Stars. I also own a small gargoyle. Well, now you know me better than the average person who has never met me. I look forward to blogging for you all!
