From reading this little glance around, it would seem that Southwestern is heaven on earth. Well, it is pretty great, but we have our own struggles, too. But through it all, we know that God's presence is guiding, sustaining, and empowering us to meet those challenges. As I look around, I see places where God is asking me to trust and keep going, places where I need to ask forgiveness, and even places where I may need to just stop what we've been doing. So whether we move forward, or stop, we trust all of it for God's glory alone! And that's actually the best place of all to be.

“We should have lunch sometime!” I said casually.
“When?” she
asked specifically.
Well, truth be told, I didn’t really have a day in mind. I was just being polite, expressing that I’d had a good time hanging out with her and her friends and I hoped they invited me to hang out again. But her request reminded me not to throw around comments like that, devoid of intention. Such it is with the phrase: “I’ll be praying for you.” When? What will you pray? For how long?
Today is Day 1 of an intentional, shared, and specific prayer campaign set aside to support United Methodist campus ministry in prayer. My friend, Creighton Alexander, and I, along with 38 other people who care about campus ministry, have written prayers that provide an answer to some of those questions.
Each day the prayer will be made available here. If you are on Twitter, follow us at: www.twitter.com/collegeunion and we will send you a link to the prayers daily. Finally, if you would like to download the entire collection of prayers, you can download it here.
We ask you to join us in these prayers, lifting up in general the ministries for college aged young people around the UMC connection. We also ask you to specifically pray for the ministries or young people with whom you are acquainted. Let them know that you’re praying for them. And if through your prayer time, you feel inclined to do something, do it in the knowledge that you are being sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit. We don’t have a hidden agenda for these prayers. We simply want God to bless the ministers and students of our college campuses around the world. And we think that it is important enough to involve others in this season of specific prayer. Won’t you join us?

Good morning good morning!
I trust this finds you well.
I'm still a student at
Meeting other builders (especially those in ministry) has been an encouragement to me (and other students), especially in person (as opposed to just meeting online, like here, but it's all good too=).
Anyway, the students atSouthwestern College are still kept plenty busy being involved (or overcommitted, as professors would sometimes comment that they are). There is always a artsy fartsy performance by one of the various musically talented groups (e.g. A Capella choir, orchestra, jazz combos, theatre), just this week, the theatre produced a spectacularly dramatic production called "Urinetown" (supposedly a pun on 'You're in Town').
But yet, there is also a lot of service done for the community by the school. Both leadership and discipleship students serve the community here in the various activities/events they plan both on and off campus.
Our campus is also striving to go green, along with the national effort across universities and colleges all across the
There’s been numerous small groups set up in the past few semesters, as well as the established groups like The One Thing (TOT) and prayer group who are also growing from strength to strength. Just recently, a new group for guys, known as Manistry (it was picked over some other not as good choices) has been set up.
With all the fellowship that’s going on in
Yours truly,
Albert O. II
