BJU Bible Conference Fundraiser 2008
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
The object of the 2008 Bible Conference offering was announced today in chapel at BJU. Actually, two Bible Conference offerings (2008 and 2009) will be needed to raise the needed amount of money.
Dr. Stephen Jones unveiled the plans to renovate the front of Rodeheaver Auditorium – one of the auditoriums on campus which houses the major Shakespearean plays, the operas, and the annual Living Gallery presentation among other things. The plans call for a major makeover of the lobby area. It will extend out further allowing for more room for coat areas, a larger, more efficient ticket desk, new restrooms, and perhaps some displays, Dr. Jones said. The covered walks in front of Rodeheaver will also be new to match the other new covered walks already installed on campus. The covered walkways will lead right up to the lobby, as well.
Construction will begin soon after the 2008 Commencement Activities and will hopefully be completed by April of 2009 – just in time for the 2009 Living Gallery. Dr. Jones stated that the approximate cost of the project is around $1.75 million, hence the need for two very generous Bible Conference offerings.
