Dear College Friends: I hope you have had a good week. As an alumnus of UT — through having received a master’s in education degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga — I was invited to a student-led tour of the new Min Kao electric engineering building Thursday night on the UT campus. I [...]

Dear College Friends: I hope you have had a good week. It is hard to believe the end of another semester is just around the corner. Did anybody watch the Pat Summitt press conference Thursday in its entirety? I did. It was neat to see, but I kept waiting for them to announce that some [...]

Funny how things turn up out of the blue… During Bible Study last week, studying John Wesley and Methodism, we stumbled upon the topic of homosexuality in the church- specifically, the questions of whether the church should marry and/or ordain practicing homosexuals. There will be an open discussion on the topic (no judgement here), so [...]

Due to low attendance numbers last Sunday (just Trevor and I, to be specific), I decided to save my lesson from last week to do this week! Don’t worry, you haven’t missed that awesome lesson. So join us this week for free breakfast and a good time in CLC room 124 at 10am! See you [...]

We college students are in a sticky situation with our faith… right now is when we are tested the most, not only with temtation, but also by our peers. It can be critical to understand your religion and your denomination to defend your faith, and that is why we will be learning about Methodism and [...]

Let’s talk about the deciples… not a topic discussed often, right? Well they’re pretty impotant, and you may already have some ideas about them without even knowing it. Join us at 10am in CLC room 124 for breakfast and some good company!

Dear College Friends: I hope everyone had a great Easter. I had to miss the Easter services at Church Street United Methodist Church for the first time since Laura and I moved to Knoxville in the summer of 2005. Laura’s mother, Elizabeth Anderson, died early Good Friday morning down in Augusta, Ga., at the age [...]

Dear College Friends: I hope you have had a good week and that all of you had a nice spring break. Has anybody caught March Madness yet related to the NCAA basketball tournament? I must have because about a week ago, I dreamed during the night that North Carolina men’s basketball coach Roy Williams had [...]

This week at Bible Study, Monty and Elizabeth Walton will be leading us in a lesson on Easter. We’ve all heard the Easter story, and it’s a story in which our faith thrives, but it is important to hear a story through many different understandings. Join us this Sunday night, starting with free dinner in [...]

IT’S APRIL… and the Sunday before Easter! In celebration of this excellently sweet time of year, we shall be decorating cupcakes made by myself (don’t worry, I can do this). Hopefully they will look awesome like this… …but I’m not expecting too much. And there wil be no coconut, that’s way too fancy for us. [...]
