A voluntary offering will support the campus ministry and Habitat for Humanity spring break work trips to Georgetown, Del., and Georgetown, S.C. Angel tree gifts, which will be displayed in Orr Auditorium Lobby, were purchased by members of the campus community to support children and youth through Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Walker House, the Pennsylvania Homeless Children's Initiative and the Bair Foundation. The Office of Faith and Spirituality coordinated the effort.
Following the service, the Office of Faith and Spirituality staff will host a reception and time of fellowship in Orr Lobby. The service will be broadcast on Titan Digital Radio 88.9 FM.
