I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Timothy 2:1-2
NEWS
In honor of the 20th anniversary of events that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, Dr. Brenda Elliott (Department of Nursing), along with the co-editors and two other chapter authors of their 2020 book titled, “Veteran-centered care in education and practice: An essential guide for nurse faculty” were invited by Springer Publishing to deliver a virtual webinar on Sept. 9. The talk titled, “ Honoring military veterans: Four approaches to achieving a veteran-centered nursing practice” focused on the need for nurses to understand military culture, the impact of the MISSION Act on veterans in community healthcare settings, common injuries associated with military service, and strategies for nurse educators to enhance student learning of veteran-centered care in the classroom/clinical.

The Glass Menagerie
Written by: Tennessee Williams
Directed by: Ed Cohn
From her cramped St. Louis apartment, Amanda Wingfield dreams of her days as a Southern debutante while worrying about the future of her aimless son Tom and unmarried daughter Laura. With their father absent and the Great Depression in motion, the siblings find comfort in their foibles — alcohol, movies and writing for Tom and a collection of glass animals for Laura — which only heightens Amanda’s anxiety. When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfields are flooded with hope. But it’s unclear if his presence will change things for the better or shatter their fragile illusions.

Stunt card video: take 2!
Yesterday, you received a mass email from President Phipps regarding an upcoming “card stunt” we are planning to perform at Messiah University! If you recall, back in April 2020, Messiah partnered with Kivett Productions out of Orlando, Florida, to produce a unique video that would reveal the new Messiah University logo from our former college logo. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
WHAT
The exciting news is that we have rescheduled this card stunt and video (with a new script!) in just a few weeks.
WHO
To make this a success, we will need 200 volunteers from across campus, and that is where you come in! You are invited to be a part of this fun and distinctive video. A key goal of this project is to showcase that it is the people of Messiah that make our campus community such a special place.
WHEN
Filming will occur on Shoemaker Field on Tuesday, Oct. 5, from 9:30 a.m. to noon (rain date: Oct. 6, same time and location). While the actual shoot will not take the entire time, volunteers must be available for the entire window on both days, which will include a briefing by the director, placement of individuals for the card stunt, and the filming itself. Light refreshments will be served for those who participate.
REGISTER
If you’d like to volunteer, please discuss with your immediate supervisor before registering. Supervisors, please make every effort possible to allow employees to participate if they wish.
You may register to volunteer by using this link. Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Confirmation and additional details will be sent to registered volunteers as we near the filming date.
Please contact Sherri Hoffman or Danielle Ran with additional questions.
