There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."   <a href="https://andrews.edu/services/research/research_events/conferences/summit_social_consciousness/summitsocial_20240206_slide_final_updated.jpg">Click here</a> for the dates, times and locations.

Do people realize what is awakened in them when they decide to serve and why they enjoy doing something like service more than just sitting in classes all day? Is that spark something that can be activated into something more long-term? How do we move the needle to help people realize what it is that they like about a day to serve—and that it's more than just missing a class or two? Sept. 16, 2021, was the fifth anniversary of Change Day at Andrews University. It's an event where classes are canceled and students have the opportunity to help with a number of different projects in the community. It's always a great time for the students who show up and show out in service, but what makes it such an enjoyable experience? What changes in our minds when we engage in even just a day of service? </div> <a href="https://anchor.fm/gothemission/episodes/Change-Day-Aftermath-e18ol16" target="_blank">LISTEN HERE</a> (episode released Oct. 13, 2021) <h2> What changed on Change Day?</h2> From the episode webpage: Sept. 16, 2021, was the fifth anniversary of Change Day at Andrews University.
