• Students/faculty/staff will collect food items for Thanksgiving dinners for Interchurch Social Services.
• Will create a "global village" on campus to represent the brokenness of people around the world and to help educate others on what they can do to help.
Concentrating on "What does hope look like?" and "How can we be hope to others?" students will present how we can make commitments to do justice and to love mercy.
• There will be food collection bins in the area of the simulation and everyone is invited to bring non-perishable food items that will be donated to Knox County's Food For The Hungry drive.
• Close out the week on Friday with and early morning prayer service.

School in Benin, Africa
• On a former short-term mission trip to Benin, land was donated to the Church of the Nazarene by a village chief who was impressed that the team would come and visit his village. Local pastors would like to start a school on this land and honor MVNU by naming the school "MVNU."
• We desire to take a special offering during Inauguration week to help support the building of this school. Drop your donation in the boxes in the Prince Student Union until Nov. 30 or mail to Campus Ministries, 800 Martinsburg Road, Mount Vernon, OH 43050 (make checks payable to MVNU with "Benin School" in the memo line.
