Surprised by Casey: A Tribute to
C.S. Lewis
MAKE YOUR PLANS now to attend Seattle Pacific University’s
much-anticipated summer island getaway that blends food, fun and
food for thought. This year’s Casey Alumni Weekend, August 15–17,
commemorates 40 years since the death of Christian literary great,
C.S. Lewis. “Surprised by Casey: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to C.S.
Lewis” features readings, storytelling and prayers dear to the heart
of the man who penned The Chronicles of Narnia and other
beloved works.
Alumni of all ages and their families will enjoy a wide range of
activities at Casey Conference Center, from swimming and beachcombing
to crafts for the kids and a delectable salmon barbecue.
The Lewis legacy will be shared in presentations by SPU Lewis-philes on the
life and literature of a man of faith and letters, and in theatrical
performances
by Potluck Productions.
Register for Casey Alumni Weekend by calling
206/281-ALUM, or visiting www.spu.edu/alumni. Brochures will be mailed
in June.

Cultivating hope in the face of chaos is vital today. "This is the time
for a Christian university to dig down deep into its formative foundations … and
decide quite clearly what bread we have to offer,” says President Philip
Eaton.
