Please be advised that the lower-level north entrance to the Math & Psychology Building will be temporarily closed due to adjacent construction activities. This closure will allow for a new exterior stair and utility connections to be built as part of the ILSB project. The entrance will close on approximately June 5th, 2017 and remain closed for a period of about 4 weeks. The entrance will re-open on approximately July 3rd, 2017. 

Accessible routes to and through the Math & Psychology building will not be affected. Emergency egress from the building has been reviewed with the UMBC Fire Marshal. Posted building emergency egress plans will be updated and exit signs will be modified as necessary to reflect the temporary changes.

Beginning the week of 5/30/2017, Facilities Management will post signs alerting pedestrians of the closure and directing them around it. The signs will remain posted until the entrance reopens in July. About the same time, an additional message will be sent to all building occupants alerting them of the closure.

Please see the attached identifying the entrance location.

Please let us know should you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

John 6: 35, 51, 53-58 (NIV) - ³⁵ Then Jesus declared, ”I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
⁵³ Jesus said to them, ”Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.⁵⁵ For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.⁵⁶ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

Jesus is the bread of life!  He is the one who will fill us in our deathly hunger.

We are to eat the real food and real drink.

Hear the echoes of the prophet Isaiah’s words (55:1-2):
“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.”

Again, just take in the painting.  Of Jesus who is on the road to the cross so that we can feed on him and live!

Prayer: Father in heaven, thank you for love.  Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.  Thank you for Jesus who for the joy set before him endured the cross.  In Jesus name.  Amen.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love
will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

This Psalm is one of all-time favorites, for all children of the Lord.  Notice here the desire of our Father in heaven to provide for us-through a feast!

A party! With out-of-this-world food and drink!  So that we will be satisfied, rested and live with the Lord forever.

Click on it and take it in.  Don’t try to interpret it too much.  Just soak in the fact that the Father in heaven’s love for us to be at his table has started to with Jesus’ invitation - and this love will come to its fullness in the wedding banquet of the Lamb!

Prayer: Father, thank you for love.  Thank you that you call us your children.  You prepare a feast for us, in our Lord Jesus!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Fill us with your Holy Spirit so that we can honor you with our lives - may we really love you and really love others.  In Jesus name.  Amen.
