HeartBeat is coming up this Thursday! 8:00 Friedmann Room, but if you wanna help set up, come by 7:00! 

Also, this Friday, we will be having a Prayse Night with AKC church- come to Chapin Chapel by 7:00 for praise and prayer

BUT… This much you guys already know.

What you may not know is that Bi-Semester is coming up, not this Sunday, but next Sunday.

As if things couldn’t get any cooler, Chris Nichols, the super-cool director of InterVarsity New England is coming to talk about race and the Gospel.

Check it out fellow ACF tumblrers!

“Chris Nichols, the director of InterVarsity New England, is coming to Amherst on April 20th (Red Room, 8pm) to give a talk on Race and the Gospel. He’s main questions are:

Is America a “post-racial” country? 
How do we define race, specifically in defining “blackness” and “whiteness”? 
What, if anything, does the Gospel have say about the complexities of race in multicultural environments, namely institutions of higher learning?

Chris Nichols has just returned from a year sabbatical where he interviewed black men at Ivy League schools. He is in the process of writing a book and he is coming to Amherst to present his research. After his talk there will be a Q&A session followed by a reception.”

This is sure to be super sweet.
