Our first Barn of 09 on Sept 6

Everyone is welcome to join us Sunday nights for our 5:30pm cookout and 6:15 large group (Music and Bible study) as we spend the semester studying the book of Acts and "The work of God by the power of the Holy Spirit" in the early church and as we make application to the present church of our day.

Also, heads up on the RUF Summer Conference!  Sign ups will conclude on Sunday April 18.  The cost is usually $280, but I have raised support from generous churches and individuals to provide a $100 scholarship!  This means a week a the beach (Panama City, FL) with about 1,000 other college students, meals included, and large group sessions, small groups, and seminars to choose from for only $180!  Don't miss out on this, and please: spread the word to others who might enjoy this and want to go.  This is a great trip to get to know new people and to deepen your relationships with one another! 

 If you'd like to support this effort in Gospel ministry at Erskine to our students, or if you'd like to support our interns (Cam Smith and Laura Funke), you can designate your check accordingly and send your tax deductable gift to:

Campus Ministry at Erskine
Erskine College
PO Box 338
2 Washington St
Due West, SC 29639 

Our ministry is unbudgeted at Erskine, making us dependent upon the gifts of individuals and churches like you who have a heart for campus ministry, so your support is desperately needed!
 

53 from Erskine at the 2008 RUF Conference

Erskine Sends 53 to RUF Conference

We sent a great group to Camp Greystone for the Southeastern Collegiate retreat Sept 19-21, actually the largest group of all 13 campuses represented.  Our music team from the Barn led music for the 300 college students and did a great job.  We enjoyed Andy Jones speaking on the "Holy Spirit" and our group really got to know one another better through the small group discussion on the speakers questions.

Special thanks goes to the ARP Student Union at Erskine for committing their limited resources given to them by the General Synod each year to help provide scholarships to assist Erskine students to attend the $90 per person conference.  Their gifts, as well as gifts from a few churches and young alumni helped to provide 50% scholarships for all our students as well as several 100% scholarships for those with exceptional needs.  The conference was definitely worth it!
