Seattle Pacific University Introduces the Parents Fund
Ensuring Seattle Pacific’s tradition of academic excellence requires the involvement and generous support of many donors to the University, including parents of current students and graduates. The Parents Fund was established to provide a way for parents to actively enhance and sustain their student’s college experience. Every gift made by parents to this fund grows and strengthens the activities that take place both inside and outside the classroom. Gifts to the Parents Fund provide annual, unrestricted funding to areas of immediate need -- from academic advising and new state-of-the-art classrooms, to residential life and Christian faith exploration.
Your gifts affirm you believe in the value of your student’s SPU education and its power to prepare your son or daughter to graduate with competence and character. Parent partnership is critical to propelling SPU’s mission to engage the culture and change the world.
Will you make a life-changing gift to SPU students today? Please visit spu.edu/givenow. This is a chance to influence every student’s life.

Spring Quarter Lectio
Beginning March 25, Professor of New Testament Jack Levison will take our campus on an 11-week Spring Quarter roller coaster ride through the book of Acts, which you can join for free via Lectio. Levison is the author of several books, including his highly acclaimed Fresh Air: The Holy Spirit for an Inspired Life. “Acts shows a world full of signs above and wonders below,” writes Levison in his introduction to the upcoming Lectio series. “This is a world in which Peter, while standing at a door fresh out of prison, is mistaken for an angel (Acts 12:12-17). It is a world in which evil spirits do God’s bidding by chasing evil men away naked (19:13-20). This is a magical world, a heady world, in which hankies that touch the Apostle Paul heal the sick and exorcise the demon-possessed (19:11-12).”
Lectio is an opportunity for you to follow along the biblical text that your student is being exposed to in chapel, group, and other Bible studies on campus. For a free subscription to weekly Lectio readings and podcasts, or to access current and previous Lectios and learn about the Center for Biblical and Theological Education, visit spu.edu/cbte. |
