Please join us for a training opportunity to review p-card and travel card expense reporting processes in Concur. ACU Travel Office staff will be available to answer questions after the session. If you are not able to attend the campus training session in 2024, additional campus training sessions will be provided in 2025. The upcoming training session will be held in the Lynay Classroom in the Hunter Welcome Center Room 211 on Tuesday, September 24th from 1:30-2:30 PM. There is a zoom option to attend the training remotely that can be accessed here.

Join ACU staff members as we go through the curriculum of The After Party each Tuesday at lunch beginning 9/10, leading up to one of the authors, Curtis Chang, speaking in Chapel on 10/16. We will meet in the LYNAY classroom from 11:30 am to 1 pm each Tuesday, with the exception of meeting in the Packer Forum in the Library on 10/1. The After Party is a collection of resources designed by the non-profit Redeeming Babel to help you move towards better Christian politics. Our video course, book, and worship music were designed for pastors & people who know there’s a better way to “do politics.” As you engage with our materials, you’ll be equipped & encouraged to do the hard work of engaging across differences, reframe your political identity in light of the Gospel’s promises, and focusing your heart & mind on the “how” of relating to each other before the “what” of political opinions. Find your free resources here.

Please join for a time of singing together on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesdays in Mabee Business 301 at 11:00 for Great Songs Chapel.

Faculty, staff and students are welcome. Sing to the Lord!

Our special guests will be Dr. Royce Money and Dr. Jerry Taylor.

Dr. Money will provide a retrospective of the One in Christ Conference, and Dr. Taylor will discuss the current and future paths toward racial reconciliation within Churches of Christ. Restoration Day is hosted by the Center for Restoration Studies (CRS) at ACU. The Center for Restoration Studies was established in 1986 and is jointly managed by the ACU Brown Library and the ACU College of Biblical Studies. The Center advances scholarship related to the Stone-Campbell Movement and is one of the most active research communities dedicated to collecting, preserving, and disseminating scholarship related to the history of the Stone-Campbell Movement, specifically Churches of Christ.
