Past Tents

You know how they make a tent/tabernacle when they talk to God in the Old Testament? Well, that's what I'm hoping we'll do at the PSC--make a tent of sorts so that people can talk to God. I guess that's what church buildings are: tents for people to enter as they look for God. Some are brick, some are made of wood, some are ugly, and some are pretty.


Check out this picture that someone sent me the other day. Presbyterian Student Center ca. 1947. Pretty crazy, right? Since I'm new, I've been doing my homework to learn more about the PSC. Our current building was built in 1959. It was a statewide effort by a lot of churches and individuals. It's not the best looking building today, but it's solid and it serves us well. Most Presbyterian campus ministries across the country aren't so fortunate--so I'm very grateful.

Anyway, it's a tent of sorts for us to use to find God. It was for me when I was a student here (1997-2001). I hope that it can be for you too.
