1. Does anyone want to do Move In Day with SVC/parking lot?

2. Would you be interested in co-sponsoring a course taught by Search Ministries on How to Respond to the 12 Questions about Christianity that People Usually Ask? A man from their ministries, BJ Pederson, will teach on the DaVinci code Sept. 17, Sun at SVC. If people wanted to check the ministry out they could come then.

3. Also Dale Crall, a pastor from Univ, Church in Carbondale, Ill, will preach and teach at SVC Oct. 1, about ministering to the campus, particularly International Students, but not exclusively. He has a thriving ministry/church there. Guests are welcome.

4. We would be so happy at SVC to offer our facilities to any UCMA group who wanted to have morning prayers for the campus. We would like to see one group take one morning so that the whole week is covered. We already have a Fri. 7am prayer time.

5. Would you be interested in joining us in co-sponsoring some special classes? Idease include: How to Get Good Grades in College and Money- God's Way.
