For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 (NRSV)

Invite someone you know to Messiah’s Feb. 16 open house
Do you know a student who is in the college search process and may be a good fit for Messiah College? Consider inviting them personally to visit our Open House on Monday, Feb. 16. Students can take a closer look at our 80+ majors, tour campus, enjoy a special lunch in the dining hall and spend time interacting with Messiah students, professors and staff. Students and their family members can register to attend at www.messiah.edu/openhouse. We invite you to share this link with prospective students and their family members, along with the reasons you love being a part of the Messiah College community! We would love to have them visit and extend them a warm welcome for the day.
Donate to The Grand Auction to benefit international service trips
All employees are invited to participate in a fundraiser auction for our international service trips. We want students to learn the significance of involving their local community in international mission—in prayer, fundraising and raising awareness—and are piloting an auction that includes students and Messiah employees. There will be a silent auction and a live auction on Friday, Feb. 27 from 4-8 p.m. in the Larsen Student Union.
What we’re hoping for from you is two-fold:
1) Donate items or services that would benefit students OR that other employees would bid on. Be creative! Examples include activities with students, food, gifts, etc.
2) Stop by the silent auction on Feb. 27 from 4-8 p.m. in the Larsen Student Union to bid on a number of items donated from employees and students, like yard work, housecleaning, childcare and handmade items.
To donate, please fill out the following form and be as descriptive as possible:

Have great news? Send our way!
The Office of Marketing and Communications is constantly looking for newsworthy stories and information about Messiah to share on our website and through social media. If you have a great story about students, faculty or employees, please send to Danielle Ran, director of communications, at dran@messiah.edu. The news should be timely, relevant and of interest to prospective students, parents, alumni or the community. High resolution photos (or the ability to obtain them) are a bonus!
