Celebrate Passion Week

As we get closer to Easter ’12, the Campus Ministries department is inviting the campus community to participate.

Monday, April 2
The Prayer Experience will be in the Gold Room from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. Take 15-20 minutes and walk through the seven stations that will guide you to the cross. Sometimes we have to bring ourselves before we can carry someone else.

Tuesday, April 3
The Service Experience will be 8 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. around the pond. Stop by one of the tables to get free coffee/juice and donuts.

Don’t be a square —be at the Block Party throughout the day with Powder Puff football, food, inflatables, music and more from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Bring your hall mates, class mates, or just your mates!

Worship in the Chapel at 7 p.m. CSU’s friend, Brent Crowe, will be speaking at this event, and we hope to continue to take people to experience something like never before.

Wednesday, April 4
The Chapel Experience. All we can tell you is that this will not be your average Chapel experience. Be there before 11 a.m.

Get H-Y-P-E because CSU’s bringing Trip Lee to the HOOOOOUUUUSSSSEEEEE! Trip is a Christian hip-hop artist who is about to bring a fresh look on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Don’t know who Trip Lee is? Take a chance and just come in to hear him drop a few beats! Doors open at 6 p.m., and the concert jump starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are FREE with CSU ID…otherwise $5/person at the door.

Remembrance Events

Unity is the theme for the Charleston Southern MLK event. Martin Luther King, with his commitment to end racial segregation and discrimination through nonviolent means, would agree with such a theme. Our school will be hosting a Candle Light Vigil around the Reflection Pond on Monday, January 16 from 5-5:45 pm to honor our fallen warrior for Christ. Please stop by to pay your respects to his memory and unite with others of like minds who desire to see unity of all kinds.

The Annual MLK Holiday Parade will also be on Monday Jan. 16th. It begins at 11am in front of Burke High School. It will run from Fishburne Street to Ashley Avenue then to Sumter Street and King Street and ends at Marion Square.

Another way to pay tribute is to donate to an MLK book drive. There is a drop box located outside of the campus bookstore. Needed are books suitable for 5th-9th grade students.

This is a federal holiday.  All public offices will be closed. All banks, post offices and public school will also be closed in remembrance.

Charleston Southern will be holding classes and all offices will be open.
