School of Theology Pub Party
|  Saturday, November 3, 2012
On the evening of Saturday, November 3rd, from 6:30 - 11:30pm, the brand-new Southern Fried Theologians student group will host its first Community-wide Pub Party at the BU Pub, in the basement of the BU Castle. We will have the place to ourselves, and all School of Theology students, faculty, staff, and administrators are invited! The TVs will be tuned to the Alabama/LSU football game, and the food will be tailgate-fabulous, but for those who don't love football there will also be cards and boardgames, and plenty of space to just hang out and chat. There will be a bartender on-hand, so bring some money to purchase your favorite beverages. We hope that everyone planning to take part in that day's Reading Retreat and/or Preaching Forum or viewing the Art Exhibition will stick around and join us!
