News about "community"

Most people have heard the old saying about how you can't understand what others go through until you've walked a mile in their shoes and I've always felt that was a pretty accurate sentiment.

Much to my chagrin, I wasn't even able to crawl a few feet in the shoes of Marshall firefighters this week, much less make it anywhere close to a mile in them.

Over 160 ETBU students, faculty, and staff participated in service projects throughout Harrison County as part of the National Day of Service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his service to others. Members of the ETBU community served at organizations in the area including Mission Marshall, The Boys & Girls Club of Hallsville, Dayspring Therapeutic Equestrian Center, and My Friend's House.

Some East Texas Baptist University students let their light shine at Marshall Convention Center this week by helping to restore the venue's lighting system back to full working order.

Sixteen ETBU students participated in the community service project during a mini-semester session for fine arts course credit.

The Christmas spirit came to East Texas Baptist University earlier than usual as the student-athletes participated in Operation Christmas Child this week. ETBU student-athletes came together with their gifts for boys and girls and wrapped them all in one night.

In the first year of the ETBU Athletic Operation Christmas Child Wrapping Party, the athletic department collected 181 boxes for boys and girls through donations from ETBU's 500 student-athletes. These boxes were then delivered to Summit United Methodist Church in Marshall.
