Faith, Hope and Love the Focus of Spiritual Life Week

Faith. Hope. Love.

Those three words will be the center of discussion for Ted Swartz ’89, MACL ’92 of Ted & Company, during Spiritual Life Week at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), Oct. 30-Nov. 2.

“Ted combines a love of the Bible with outrageous humor and fresh perspective,” says Brian Martin Burkholder, EMU campus pastor. “Always relevant, always challenging, always engaging; you won’t want to miss it.”

In addition to leading university chapel on Wednesday, Oct. 31 and Friday, Nov. 2, Swartz will perform Didn’t You Get My Letter? Musings From the Apostle Paul on Wednesday at 7 p.m., in EMU’s MainStage Theater. Admission is free for EMU students with ID or $5 at the door for non-students.
