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

Tip of the Week
There
is no limit to what you can learn. But there is a limit to how much you can accomplish
or mentally digest in any given period. Never study for more than two hours
without a break. And take a break between subjects. If you’ve completed an
economics assignment and you’re about to begin some English reading, give your
mind 10 or 15 minutes to relax, refresh itself, and shift gears.
Free
Peer Tutoring Available!
The
Hundley Center has 28 peer tutors who provide tutoring in over 20
subjects. To make an appointment, please visit www.uu.edu/programs/hundleycenter/appointments
If you have questions, please call 731.661.5123 or stop by the Hundley Center,
