News about "spring break"

MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER: (3/19/16) A group of about 20 East Texas Baptist University students have given up their spring break to refurbish a house in Marshall.

Instead of enjoying their vacation on a beach somewhere, they've been busy replacing a roof, repairing and painting wood siding and landscaping a house on West Meredith Street as part of a servant leadership class.

"I don't think I've told anyone to get up and work," ETBU Provost Thomas Sanders said. "We just tell them what needs to be done and they just jump up and do it."

This year, 1,060 volunteers engaged in servant evangelism while giving 27,396 car rides and serving 21,000 pancakes during the three week ministry of Beach Reach. 

MARSHALL, Texas (3/20/15) - The selling of bottled water in the United States is a billion dollar business.  By one estimate, approximately 50 billion bottles of water are consumed per year in the United States.  This is a staggering number to grasp when most Americans can simply turn the faucet on in their homes and receive clean drinking water.
