2) Community Invited to Bless Bethel College Bookstore and Coffeehouse
Bethel College's auxiliary services invites the community to participate in blessing the newly expanded bookstore and coffeehouse located on campus on Friday, Oct. 26, 2012, from 4-6 p.m.
Guests will have the opportunity to write their favorite scripture verse or well wishes on the subfloor as well as get a sneak peak at the inside of the new building. The expanded bookstore will also become home to Sufficient Grounds coffeehouse, which is currently located on McKinley Ave.
"It will serve as a gathering place for students and faculty. Its location will also make it more accessible and convenient for folks to patronize it after events in the Everest-Rohrer Chapel/Fine Arts Center and athletic events in the Wiekamp Athletic Center," says Ed Bernhard, Bethel's director of auxiliary services.
Construction for the $1.1 million facility is expected to be completed in November 2012. Sufficient Grounds will be open at its current location until November.
3) Bethel College Play
The Bethel College theatre department presents "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, Thursday, Nov. 1 and Friday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Everest-Rohrer Chapel/Fine Arts Center – Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now.
"Midsummer" is one of the great comedies by William Shakespeare. A complex farce, the play revolves around the adventures of four young lovers, Hermia & Lysander and Helena & Demetrius. Their romantic intrigues are confused and complicated by fairies who inhabit the forest they enter. A story that will entertain young and old, Shakespeare's comedy tells the tale of two couples who fell in love with the wrong partners, but, thanks in part to the bungling work of Puck, are finally reunited with their true loves.
FIELD TRIP PRICE $5 Students & Non-Teachers, Teachers are free. 9:30 am, Nov. 1.
Contact Bethel College directly for tickets (574) 807-7080.
