Dear UCA Family,

Monday Morning Prayer Time
Every Monday, in the lobby of the Ad Building, we have weekly prayer time at 8:00 a.m. If you are on campus, we would love to have you join us! If not, please pray for us wherever you are. This Monday, December 3rd, we are praying for Jessica Garrett, Dani Rivera, and the equestrian program.

Journey to Bethlehem
Our students have the opportunity this weekend to participate with the Spokane South Hill Church in their Journey to Bethlehem production.  Students who have signed up should meet the bus at the flagpole at 4 p.m. on Friday, 3:30 p.m. on both Sabbath and Sunday.  The production ends by 8:30 p.m., so students can expect to be back on campus by approximately 9 p.m.  This is a great way to be involved with sharing the true meaning of the Christmas season.

UCA Lions Basketball
Games this week will be on Tuesday, December 4 and Thursday, December 6.  Please see the attached Lions’ Schedule for all the details. 2018-2019 basketball schedule

College Prep Tip
There are two great things high school students can do to prepare for college over Christmas break: shadow a professional and apply for outside scholarships. For freshman through seniors, job shadowing is a great way to explore career options in an area of interest. Connect with someone in your church or a family friend and ask if you can follow them for a few hours and interview them about what they do. Also consider applying for outside scholarships. Students who spend the extra time to apply for scholarships can get thousands of dollars in money toward college that they never have to pay back, in addition to what is provided by their school of choice. Here are a few great sites to get you started:
