We are planning an Open House at Faith Builders to provide an opportunity to learn more about the vision and programs of Faith Builders.  This Open House is planned for Saturday and Sunday, March 24-25, 2007.  It will begin with lunch at 11:45 AM on Saturday and continue through lunch on Sunday.

We are looking forward to this event and invite everyone to attend.  Space will be somewhat limited, so registration is important.  Please contact the main office at (814) 789-4518 or fbep@fbep.org by March 9 to register.

You can view and download the schedule for the Open House here (PDF, 113 KB).

If you are driving into the Guys Mills area for the January 27 colloquy, please be careful!  The roads are passable but you should use caution.  Interstate 79 is open but falling snow is keeping the snow plows busy.  State roads are not cleared as well as the interstate highways, but travel to Guys Mills is still possible with reasonable care.

Those who are not traveling, please pray for those on the roads this evening and tomorrow morning.  Thank you!

The Spring Semester Textbook List is now available for download.  Texts have not been assigned to all the courses at this point.  You can check with the main office nearer the beginning of term to see if texts have been assigned to these courses.

You are expected to have the texts for your courses the day classes begin.  All texts will be available from Christian Learning Resource.  If you wish to purchase texts from CLR, you must contact the bookstore at least two weeks before the term begins.  You will pay 6% PA sales tax, but there is no shipping cost.  The bookstore is offering an additional 5% discount on textbook purchases over $100.  CLR Contact information: E-mail: clr@fbep.org; Phone: 877-222-4769; FAX: 814-789-3396.

I’ve posted some updated photos (including a few older shots) of the Student Center.  Windows and exterior doors are installed, and the general landscaping is mostly completed.  Thank you for your support of this project.

Stephen Russell recently returned from his sojourn in Israel, and he began Winter Term with a rush, teaching Nonresistance, Early Anabaptist Writers Seminar, Systematic Theology, and Early and Medieval Church History.  Stephen will also anchor the colloquy later this month, January 27, on the topic of nonresistance.

Good to have you back, Stephe!
