Review: ‘The 39 Steps’
Cedarville University’s theatre program has had one of its most popular seasons in years. Ticket sales records were set in the fall for the Shakespeare classic “The Taming of the Shrew” and in the winter for “Pride and Prejudice.”
Topping off the 2013-14 season is “The 39 Steps,” and the stakes are high. Fortunately, however, “The 39 Steps” proves to be one of the most unusual Cedarville productions in recent memory, ending the year with a bang.

The Blizzard of 1978, dubbed “The Storm of the Century,” has not been forgotten by Ohio residents 36 years later. In light of frigid temperatures and heavy snowfall, this year’s winter is being compared to that of 1978. But is there any real comparison between the two?

Weak Ceiling Strengthened Church
In March 2013, Pastor Linda Davis of Cedarville United Methodist Church noticed some ceiling tiles drooping in a small portion of the building. The church, built in 1867, is the second oldest church in the town of Cedarville.
When examiners looked at the ceiling, they discovered that it was actually composed of three ceilings: one acoustic, one tile, and one plaster-and-lathe ceiling. After 146 years of hot and cold temperatures with no insulation, more than half of the plaster-and-lathe ...
New Generation. New Perspective.
Christians today have a wide range of views on drinking and its acceptability in the life of a Christian. Specifically, the millennial generation, born during the 1980s through the early 2000s, is more likely to have a more lenient stance on alcohol.
In response to these developments, Cedarville made an effort this year to clarify its stance on alcohol, confirming that, during their undergraduate career, students are not permitted to drink alcohol either on or off campus.

War on Poverty: 50 Years Later
The typical spring break of a college student involves hanging out with friends, sleeping a lot, and eating way too much of mom’s home cooking.
But each year, for a handful of students, this is not the case.
Every year, Cedarville’s community ministries sends a number of teams designed to minister to people in need across the United States. The teams partnered with organizations like Inner City Impact, Shepherds Ministries, Service Over Self and others.
Students came back from ...
