In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.

MESSIAH 411
| Thank you for your kindness |
| Thank you so very much for the overwhelming support from the entire Messiah College family during the darkest hours surrounding the death of our Emily. Words can’t begin to express how touched our family was by your prayers and presence in our lives the past several weeks. We sincerely appreciate the outpouring of love and support from Messiah.
To Mark Wirtz and the Dining Services Department: Thank you for providing all the wonderful food. Your thoughtfulness represented “Jesus feeding the 5,000” when our home was loaded with guests and school students. A special thank you to Kathie Shafer, Vice President of Operations, for closing the physical plant during the funeral service. We realized it was probably the busiest time for maintenance during student move-in week. It meant so much to see so many of my friends attending the funeral. We would also like to thank the operations employees for the beautiful flowers. To the Athletics Department, Facility Services and “Colleagues at Messiah College:” Thank you for the flower arrangements sent to the church. To the Physical Plant Employees, Old Main Employees, Swim Team, Women’s Lacrosse Team and others that contributed monetary donations to our family and to our church: We are totally speechless over the amazing generosity extended to us. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. ~ Patrick Groft and family Grandparents Day 2015 Thursday, October 1 will mark our seventh annual Grandparents Day.

An evening with journalist and author Bob Woodward
One of America’s preeminent investigative reporters and nonfiction authors, Bob Woodward, will be speaking at Messiah College on Tuesday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Parmer Hall of the Calvin and Janet High Center for Worship and Performance. Mr. Woodward has worked for The Washington Post since 1971 as a reporter and is currently an associate editor there. As a young reporter in 1972, Woodward was teamed up with Carl Bernstein. The two did much, but not all, of the original news reporting of the Watergate scandal that led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. Gene Roberts, former managing editor of The New York Times, has called the work of Woodward and Bernstein “maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time.”
Woodward has authored or coauthored 16 nonfiction books in the last 36 years. All 16 have been national best-sellers and 12 of them have been #1 national nonfiction best-sellers — more #1 national nonfiction best-sellers than any contemporary author. General admission tickets are $25. Student tickets (with ID) are $10. To purchase, please contact the Messiah College Ticket Office at 717-691-6036 or visit messiah.edu/tickets.
