Andrews University’s Alumni Homecoming Weekend is coming soon! A full weekend of activities will take place Sept. 26–29, 2024. Our traditional Friday events like the golf tournament and classic car show will return, but we hope you also enjoy several special features taking place this year in celebration of our 150th anniversary! These include the release of Meredith Jones Gray’s second volume on Andrews University’s history, “Forward in Faith,” as well as a “150 years of history” walk-through museum in Johnson Gym. Enjoy a variety of open houses and museums on Sabbath afternoon, then attend Saturday night’s supper for alumni, which returns with a “twist” in Johnson Gym. For details and a full schedule, visit our website at alumni.andrews.edu/homecoming. We hope to see you soon!

Appearing in the Advent Review... in September, 1874, was a brief letter from John Nevins Andrews. One of its sentences stands out. This sentence, starting "And now, as we set forth, we commit ourselves...", has become dubbed the "J.N. Andrews Benediction", and it finds frequent use at the close of major events on the Andrews University campus.
On Sept. 21 at 5:15 p.m., we will explore this sentence divided into seven parts, each with verbal commentary, congregational singing, and an organ solo. The final words, "...in this sacred work", will receive particular emphasis including an organ solo with deep campus roots, Charles Gounod's Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy). Kenneth Logan, organ and Jonathan Burt, word will lead this sesquicentennial remembrance.
