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!

Something In Common Sabbath School presents Don’t Give Up by Kyle Idleman
When you are hanging by a thread, losing faith and short on strength, what you need is real encouragement—a battle cry, a call to action, marching orders to push back the darkness. Stand up straight. Face your fears and enemies. And remember that you are not alone.
Join us weekly from August 24-September 21, Sabbath Mornings at 10:30-11:30, in PMC room 141.
