Thank you to the elementary education majors who read to a captive audience at our Story Time event: Nicole Worley, Tara Fairty, Elizabeth (Tian Nuo) Zhao, Kalana Powell, Sophia Fleck, Wil Lampinen and Kirsten Sheveland.







An audience also enjoyed popcorn and soda while watching the documenatry Inside Job. Missed the movie night, but heard how great it was? Inside Job will be available soon on DVD to be checked out from the Media Library.

Celebrate National Library Week!

The Crowell Library is celebrating National Library Week with two great events. We invite you to join us.

Story Time- Wed. April 11, 3:30pm

Children of Moody employees, students, & alumni are invited to join us in the library as Elementary Education majors read some of their favorite stories aloud. In addition to Story time, children will be able to participate in a writing activity, coloring pages and a beanbag toss game, and enjoy treats and give-a-ways. Parents, fellow employees and students come and explore the Curriculum Lab and Juvenile collection to discover more about its treasure trove of resources.

Movie Night: Inside Job - Thurs. April 12, 7:00pm

Join us in the library for popcorn, soda, and a screening of the 2010 Academy Award winner for Best Documentary. Inside Job provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry that has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. Come with your thinking caps and a friend to view the film and then leave with a handout of questions that will be sure to keep you up late discussing not only the merits of the film, but the implications of this financial crisis as well.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
Contact Amy Fields with any questions about the events.

Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday

Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.

This, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev'ry bitter thought,
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees;
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.

Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death;
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
