"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

--Psalm 100:4

Dear alumni,


Happy New Year and Blessed Epiphany!

 

As we enter a new year, consider the timeless words of the psalmist to “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” We are grateful for a new year of opportunities and pray God’s blessings on you and your loved ones. Please take a look below at some of the many opportunities that are available to you through your alma mater.

 

If you have suggestions for the newsletter, please let us know by contacting alumni@cuaa.edu. If you are an alum who has written a devotion, please contact us so you can be featured in our special devotion section.

 

January is always a beautiful time for a campus visit, so please let us know if you’d like to stop by.

 

God be with you.
