Campus Ministry at Lyon College

Bear and Smokey would like you to know that exams or projects do not dictate your worth or merit in life. You are more than your grades!

If you are needing a break from studying, are completing papers, finishing up exams, or are somewhere in between, Bear and Smokey invite you to join them Tuesday at 3 pm in Student Life for Puppies and Popsicles.

Join Chaplain Maggie at Morningside for Holy Grounds finals edition. Stop by between 10am-1pm on Monday for a free cup of coffee. Stay for a bit to chat or bring your work with you to study.

This coffee break is sponsored by SGA and the Chaplain's Office.

Get ready to put the "paws" in applause because on Thursday, May 14 at 3 pm, we're celebrating our graduating students and their adorable furry companions in style!

Join Student Life and Pre-Vet Club at 3 p.m. in the Tornado Cross Garden (library) for a pet graduation like no other. Our campus pets are all set to strut their stuff and celebrate with all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect from a regular graduation ceremony.

Don't miss out on this paw-some event! It's going to be a tail-wagging good time for everyone involved.

As we enter into the final week of the semester and prepare for final exams, Student Life will be hosting De-Stress for Success.

We will have prayer, meditation, and activity stations set up for you in Walker. The De-Stress for Success stations will open on Thursday, May 7 at Chapel Hour and run through Tuesday, May 12.

Student Life hopes you will stop by throughout this time to visit the self-guided stations. We will have the labyrinth, journals, and more.

The last Holy Grounds for the semester is tomorrow. Join us for some coffee from 9:00-10:30 am at Morningside.

Information on the final exams week Holy Grounds will be shared later this week.

This Thursday, April 30 we will celebrate our seniors during Chapel Hour. Join us as we give thanks for their impact on Lyon and send them off with a blessing and prayer.

See you at 12:15 pm on Thursday!

See you tomorrow at 12:15 pm!

Chaplain Assistant Bear and all his furry friends from Student Life want to invite you to our Spring Pet Blessing next Thursday, April 23 during Chapel Hour.

We will give thanks to God for all the creatures in our lives and the care and support they provide. Bring your ESA, service pet, and friends to Chapel Hour. Please make sure that pets are properly leashed or in carriers. If they are not best with social/ loud situations, just let Chaplain Maggie know and she can bless the pet after the service. As always, if you do not have a pet on campus but want to meet and hang out with all the pets, you are welcome to join the fun!

We will gather outside Ellebracht Chapel at Begley Fountain at 12:15 pm. If it is raining, we will meet inside Ellebracht Chapel.

Bear has a very important question: Can you guess which furry friend of his belongs to what Student Life team member?

This summer Auburn Theological Seminary is seeking a few interns for the Heal the World Summit Internship Program (June 22–26) at Zephyr Point Conference Center. This is a paid opportunity ($3,000 stipend; travel and lodging covered) for students, recent graduates, or emerging leaders interested in faith-rooted leadership, justice work, and community organizing.

This conference and the planning aspect give you a hands-on experience as you work to deliver a meaningful, well-executed summer experience. The application process and information are attached to this email. The application is due on April 24.

Please reach out to the Chaplain's Office if you have any questions.
