Hunger and Homelessness Awareness WeekNovember 19th, 2009
If Messiah College were New York City then 144 students would be without a home. What if one of them was you or one of your friends? How would you feel? Every November, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week on campus is a time for students to realize that this problem is about REAL PEOPLE in REAL SITUATIONS. During this week events are schedule across campus to raise awareness of hunger and homelessness locally, nationally and globally. The story doesn’t have to end with dark statistics and a gloomy global forecast of poverty for the coming years- the story can end with Change- change that starts with us. Remember it’s not it’s not about statistics… It’s ALL about PEOPLE. NEW! Application ChecklistNovember 17th, 2009

On December 2, the students across campus will be participating in the annual “Deck the Halls” competition. This is an opportunity for residents in the traditional residence halls to come together and decorate their hallway/lounge in a Christmas related theme. This long standing tradition on our campus is a judged competition with some great prizes!

Messiah’s 
Shortly after 8 p.m. each Thursday evening, hundreds of students make their way across the College’s Grantham campus to Hostetter Chapel. Inside the chapel sanctuary, the air is filled with a lively spirit of worship, as the students prepare to experience Powerhouse. Initiated and led solely by students, Powerhouse is a high-energy praise session entirely dedicated to honoring God through music and meditation. Though participation and attendance is completely voluntary, Powerhouse never fails to attract several hundred busy students each week who have an obvious desire to worship and seek the Lord. 
“I learned so much about poverty and about the country in general. However, the most important thing I learned is that God is working everywhere in the world. We met some truly amazing people in Nicaragua who opened their homes to us and called us brothers and sisters without knowing us at all. I could see Jesus in their smiles and their hearts. One man, Antonio, has a smile that lights up his entire face, and he is so in love with the Lord. I’ve always believed that God is working everywhere, but I actually saw it for myself on this trip.”
Discover for yourself why approximately 2,800 young men and women have chosen Messiah College. We invite you to plan a visit to our campus in Grantham, PA (just ten miles south of Harrisburg) for one of the Open House days listed below. 
College is the beginning of a brand new adventure for hundreds of incoming Messiah students. In the midst of orientations, placement exams, and settling into dorm rooms, the second day of orientation week is set aside to expose first-year students to life beyond the Messiah College campus. Before the first textbook is opened or the first lecture heard, students have the opportunity to build relationships with their peers while learning about the surrounding community and serving those in need.
