Prayer & Fasting
Please note Tuesday, March 19, as a ministry-wide date for a special time of prayer with our staff and families this month. Join in interceding for the work of the Lord in the lives of people involved with our ministries and for Him to continue to raise up laborers for His harvest (Matthew 9:37-38.)
ALERT Chorus 
After an extended hiatus, ALERT Chorus is back! This opportunity is open to the Battalion as well as any staff men or ladies who would like to join. Auditions will be in the ALERT Auditorium at 7 PM on March 19, and regular practices will be held each Tuesday from 7-8:30 PM for the rest of the quarter. If you have any questions, please contact Captain Bass.
Unit 70 Welcome Reception
Everyone is invited to welcome and fellowship with the incoming men of Unit 70 on Thursday, March 21, from 6:15–7:15 PM in the Dining Room. We hope you can join us as we let these men know we are here for them. Please wear your name tags.
Blood Drive Sign Up
Carter BloodCare will be here this Saturday, March 23 from 7 AM to 12 PM. You can sign up to donate here (after selecting your time, press the "Continue to Schedule" button to complete the reservation of your appointment). In gratitude for your participation, you will receive a Carter BloodCare umbrella while supplies last. Some of our students will be signing up today (Monday), so if staff could wait to sign up until Tuesday, March 19, that would be great. Please remember that a state ID is required.

All ladies are welcome to join us for a baby shower honoring both Emily Whitaker and Sarahann Hawley. We will gather at the Levendusky home on Tuesday, April 2, from 6:30-8:00 pm. Gift registries are included on the linked invitation, and if you are able, please bring a favorite finger food to share!
Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Last week was a great start to the spring quarter. I want to say thank you to each person who prayed for the Battalion and the leadership team. I was reminded this week, as I often am, that growth in guys’ lives isn’t something we have control over; it is God’s work. The Battalion will be in class as usual for most of this week. One notable event is on Wednesday night, when a group of men from the Battalion will go to a church in Palestine to share with and encourage the AWANA kids. One specific prayer request this week would be for good understanding and comprehension, as some of the students are overwhelmed by all the information they’re learning.
