It is a joy to know you all. :)

Hello sweet Navigators :) and Happy Collegiate Day of Prayer! :D If you have some time today, I encourage you to join our campus and our fellow campuses around the country in united prayer for our generation and our world. Prayer is a really powerful tool and today we are coming together to pray for our campus and the campuses around the world. 

Nav Night is tonight at 7pm in the Student Center Room 320. :) 

Bible Studies will resume as normal tonight following Nav Night. :) 

We will be going to Camp Barefoot Republic for Spring Break from March 19th-24th. The trip will be filled with community service, great memories, and incredible people. If you are interested in joining us please give your $50 deposit to a staff member and fill out this google form. See the Facebook page and talk to Amy May if you have any further questions. :) 

Have a happy Thursday, friends. We are so glad to have you as a part of our community. :) 

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly. -Galatians 2:20-21 :)

Hello, chaplains -

There is a new class at Tech this semester called "Global Religions and Community Engagement." It is being offered through the Ivan Allen College's new LAMP (Leadership and Multi-faith Program) Initiative.  This particular class has room for 15 GT undergrads and 5 students from Emory's Candler School of Theology.  All five of the Candler spots are full, but there is still room for in the class for several more GT students.

Attached is a flyer describing the course.  Please forward to your students.  Maybe someone is still looking for that perfect elective to take this semester!

Thanks,

Steve
