Blazers For Christ

Just like with school, the closer we get to the end of the semester, the busier things seem to get at the Christian Student Center! Here's what's happening...

The Student Center will NOT meet this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. However, a special Thanksgiving devo will be held at the Central church this Tuesday evening at 7:00, with a finger food fellowship following. All of you who are still in town are more-than-welcome to come! And don't worry about bringing any food, as there will be plenty!

On Friday night, December 4, we'll have a relaxing evening of food, fun and fellowship at the CSC. Take a break and celebrate the end of classes as we gear-up for finals. We'll start around 6:00, and a meal will be provided.

Finally, on Wednesday evening, December 9, we'll have our annual Finals Breakfast (for dinner!) Jake and Cassie Dasher will be helping with the breakfast again this year.

Take care and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

As many of you heard announced on Wednesday Night, some of the guys at the CSC are shaving their heads to raise money for childhood cancer research. if you would like to donate to the cause please visit the link below:

I have also included an email Don Williams sent out via the "Prayer Warriors" email list:

You heard it right - I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!

In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure. I am sure we have all been affected one way or another by cancer, but for so many, childhood cancer has been a firsthand experience.



In 2004, my friend Kristin McLeod’s younger brother, Rett McLeod, was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma at age 3. I went to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL to see him, and my eyes were open to the number of children fighting for life. The courage of children like Rett and others is inspiring to us all! Rett has won the battle so far, and he is approaching the five year mark since he was diagnosed. He is currently visiting Shands yearly for routine checkups, but he is continuing to be resilient, working hard in school, having fun playing baseball, and has turned out to be a fine young man. However, that is not the story for some of these children, and each day more are diagnosed with some form of cancer. Let’s do whatever we can to support foundations like St. Baldrick’s that raise money to research for a cure!



I need everyone’s help! Forward this to anyone that maybe willing to donate for the cause. It doesn’t matter to me whether they know me or not…seeing me with a bald head is going to be hilarious! Below is the link to my St. Baldrick’s Website.

If any questions or problems email me back, and I will be sure to resolve them asap.

Thanks,

Don Williams
