Are you looking to grow spiritually? CMC is a place for fellowship, growing a deeper relationship with God and a place to worship. “It’s a place to fellowship with each other, pray for each other, and drive into a great word” said Faith Clifton, Education major. CMC helps each individual grow spiritually and be able to have a group that has the same beliefs as them. People should join because it’s a great way to meet new people who have a love for Christ. There are a variety of different students and backgrounds as well.

With the cold weather already upon us, it’s important to stay warm. The Saints Bookstore can help with this by offering free coffee and hot chocolate every Tuesday.

We went around campus asking students and teachers how the first week of their classes went. Most of them agreed that being back is enjoyable. Hopefully they keep being enthusiastic until the rest of the semester.

The semester feels like it lasted forever, yet it just started yesterday. In this edition of Saints on the Street, students reflect back and say "thank you" to some teachers.

It's finals week. Don't forget to take "some" study breaks ... we have!
