Spring Exam Week at Ball State will arrive before we know it and The Oasis@Ball State (aka: The Baptist House) needs volunteers again to provide for one of our daily Free Exam Week Breakfasts’ the week of May 3-7.

If your Sunday School class, small group, or just your family or a group of friends can help provide one of these breakfasts’ for our students it would be greatly appreciated.

We need to cover Monday through Friday of that week. Breakfast would need to be available to serve from 8:30am – 11:00am. We will provide the coffee, cups, plates, napkins, and utensils with which to eat. Please contact David Jones at david@bahouse.org or by calling at 765-744-8406.

Once your group decides that you are willing to do it, please call me and let me know what your menu will be so we do not duplicate meals and so we can advertise the menu as early as possible. Thanks for your willingness to assist us. The Fall breakfasts’ went great and the students really appreciated the meals and meeting the folks prepared them for us.
