Painting is in Progress Mondays – Saturdays!

Will be doing quite a bit of painting until August 9 (with the exception of Sundays). If you are visiting campus Monday – Saturday, we do not recommend parking in our parking lot due to the possibility of paint droplets landing on your car.


Olive Wood Crafts from Bethlehem

On Sunday, August 3, we will enjoy a visit by our friends from Bethlehem Handcrafts, the company that arranged and hosted our wonderful visit to the Holy Land in April 2023. For centuries, Bethlehem's Christians have supported their families by carving olive wood religious art for visiting pilgrims. But now, because of the economic situation in the Holy Land, the number of pilgrims who visit the holy sites in Bethlehem is decreasing. Buying these crafts helps support Christian families of the Holy Land to be able to make a living and support their families. What's more, the crafts are lovely. Enjoy!
