For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Compliance communications
The Office of Human Resources and Compliance maintains an electronic archive that houses copies of any and all communications related to compliance that are distributed across campus. This includes, but is not limited to: notifications that are sent out annually for compliance purposes, notifications related to campus incidents, and communications sent out when onboarding new students or employees.
As you distribute compliance-related communications, please send an electronic copy to dfink@messiah.edu. If you are unsure as to whether or not something fits into the compliance communications category, please send it and HR will determine its relevance.
Safety recalls
WalMart has recalled Rival Griddles sold between July 2015 – December 2015. The heating element can crack and water can get inside, posing a shock hazard when the griddle is plugged into an electrical outlet. For more information including what to do if you have one, and for information about additional safety recalls, refer to the Consumer Product Safety Commission website at http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/
Who could use an extra $50?
It’s not too late to enter the safety contest for January. All entries must be received by Jan. 29 to be included in the prize drawing during the workplace safety committee meeting in February. Submit your answer to January’s question to dfink@messiah.edu or Donna Fink, Suite 3015.

For rent:
A fantastic apartment is for rent in downtown Harrisburg and available to move in on Feb. 1 (or earlier if needed)! Please check it out and also share it with anyone who is looking for a great apartment, in a great location, at a great price. My wife, son and I have lived here for three years and loved it. (We are only moving now to get a back yard for our growing son.) We loved the character, the layout, the old style gate elevator, the balconies, the city and river views, and the location next to downtown restaurants, cafes, the YMCA, and other activities like a yoga studio, art galleries and river festivals. The landlord is great, there is ample street parking, and the neighborhood is completely safe. Here is more information about how you can get a viewing: http://www.trulia.com/rental/3198225543-711-N-2nd-St-8-Harrisburg-PA-17102 If you have any further questions, please contact Rodney Green at 717-743-6418 or rgreen@messiah.edu.
