Graduation 2010

We are so excited about our upcoming Graduations weekend! It is always an honor to be a part of celebrating the hard work and accomplishment of years of studying.

This year's graduation weekend is June 4-5, 2010 - kicking off with a Graduation Celebration Banquet. The catered event by an excellent Washington, DC/Northern Virginia local caterer is going to a time of just not good food but good fellowship and an encouraging Word to the Graduates through song, dance and the preached Word. If you are interested in being a part of the Celebration banquet, contact our offices before Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at (703) 791-3499, ext. 215 to see if we can squeeze you in.

The Commencement ceremony is Saturday, June 5th at 10:00 a.m.

To G-d be the glory!!!

(A few of the group members at the Western Wall) Israel 2010

Israel Study Pilgrimage 2010 was an awesome experience for every member of the 21 member group, under the leadership of Dr. John R. Peyton, Carolina University President and senior Pastor of Reconciliation Community Church, Manassas, VA and co-host, Minister Victoria Hearst, of Praise Him Ministries, Ridgeway, CO. From the time we landed in Tel Aviv to traveling to Ariel and planting vineyards on the hills of Samaria to looking with awe at Golan Heights, there was not one dull moment during our time in the Holy Land.

One word that kept coming off the lips of every member of the study group was "WOW". There was much note taking and picture taking, video and audio recording that was done that expanded our Biblical understanding of the nation of Israel and caused the Biblical accounts to come alive.

To walk the streets where our Savior walked, to stand in the region where Hannah prayed, to be baptized in the Jordan River where our Lord was baptized, to "swim" in the Dead Sea, to pray and put prayer requests in the Western Wall and to actually see Golgotha and the evidence that we serve a risen Savior is more than many of us could bear!!!

Keep checking daily as we share a few pictures that we hope will bless and inspire you to come be with us in 2011!! More info to come on how you can gain tuition assistance if you are a part of the 2011 trip and course credit if you are currently enrolled or Continuing education credits if you are a graduate or not enrolled in CUT.

Summer is on the horizion!

Well, can you believe this academic year is coming to a close and our summer break begins next week!!!

I know many of you - including our faculty are looking forward to the time off to spend with family, friends and to just take a little break.

This has been an unusual year for the Northern Virginia campus due to the extreme winter weather we experienced which extended our academic year and caused us to lose our Spring Break but our faculty and students were patient and persistent and completed all courses of study.

We were also blessed to have two members of the University staff , one of our NOVA campus students and two of our alumni to be a part of a 21 member group to Israel to be a part of a Study Pilgramage with our University president, Dr. Peyton and co host, Minister Victoria Hearst of Praise Him Ministires.  We will be sharing some pictures from our time there. It was a blessing and we pray many of you will be with us next year for our 2011 Study Pilgramage to Israel.

Enjoy your summer break. If you are in the Distance Learning program, take advantage if you like of the time off as well. See you in August!!!
