Meetings/Gatherings
Sundays (during regular academic term). Get Centred is a contemplative Christian worship service held on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. in the candlelit sanctuary of the Presbyterian Church. This half-hour service of music, prayer, scripture readings, and silence is a great way to start the week.
CONVO: Tuesday, Feb. 21. The Distillation of Sorrow in Ancient Greek and Modern Culture. Click here for more.
Tuesday, Feb. 21. Kicking Off the SGA Ad Hoc Constitutional Reform Committee. Do you want to have an impact on Centre for years to come?

Saturday, Feb. 25. Bowl For Kids Sake! Big Brothers/Big Sisters supports children in our area in desperate need of a positive adult mentor. Centre students have served in this capacity in the last several years. Bowl For Kids Sake is their biggest fundraiser. I am hopeful that organizations and individuals on campus will consider forming teams to participate. Individuals will need to collect at least $100 in pledges prior to the day of the bowl – think of that as asking 10 people for $10, or 20 people for $5, or 4 people for $25! Some organizations in the past have asked each member to raise a certain amount – be that $10, $20, or $25 – and then sent their top fundraisers to represent them as a bowling team. Pledges are acceptable – you do not need to have the money in hand to bowl. If each member of our community contributed just $10, we would be able to make an amazing difference! Teams register to bowl for one hour. Pledge sheets are available in the Student Life Office. Time/Place: 12-6 p.m. at the Danville Bowl-A-Rama.
