College Retreat - (Friday, 3/26/2010)
Spirituality is “in”—and it may not have anything to do with faith in God. Secular spirituality, pagan spirituality, and Christian spiritual practices are easily confused even by people of committed faith in Jesus Christ. This series explores spirituality for individuals and churches, showing that the Biblical vision of God’s people is a joyful community focused on God alone.* Spring Retreat at Camp Smiling Acres. Worship, lessons, spiritual growth and time together. Oh yeah, and a crawfish boil!! Mark Parker, M.Div., Assistant Vice President, Director of Admissions at Harding Graduate School of Religion, will be our guest speaker that weekend, speaking on "Real Spirituality." For more info, call the Christian Student Center @ 761-0380.

Lacey Brunson - (Updated: Friday, 3/12/2010)
Doctors fear an infection in Lacey’s leg has developed because of the fever and white blood cell that dropped to zero. She was rushed to the hospital the other night and has been on fluids and antibiotics ever since. Doctors are discussing a possible redo of surgery to take out current rods and put in new ones. Fear is that the rods were contaminated or the body is just having a hard time excepting artificial parts. Some of doctors want to wait and see because x-rays show no infection near rods, but they don’t know why she’s in so much pain when it’s been a month since her surgery. Some pain is normal, but she is having excruciating pain that is not easily relieved without pain meds by mouth and IV.

Laurie Rester - (Updated: Thursday, 3/11/2010)
Laurie Rester, Lora Taylor's niece, has declined and will be receiving Hospice services at Lora's home.
