These functions are aimed toward Christian fellow- ship and having a relaxing and exciting time. The center also provides time for addi- tional student worship during the regular school week. This is done through various devotionals and classes conducted at the center. It also supports various programs for junior high and high school age students af- filiated with the Churches of Christ in the Clarksville area. One of the programs is a Monday night devotional in which college students lead and assist. This year the Church of Christ student center sponsored the Crossroad Singers. This singing group from Gainsviile, Fla., per- formed at the Madison Street Church of Christ. Conducting classes and visiting the Mont- gomery County Penal Farm was another functions of the center. Weekly visits to the prison provided the participating students with opportunities to share the Gospel and grow spiritually with the men. Lylewood Christian Camp located near Clarksville is actively supported by the stu- dent cneter through donations made by the students and programs of repair and up- keep to the camp. The Student Center is currently involved in a program aimed to help the needy. The adoption of a family at Christmas was car- ried out by the students. Various items of necessity were purchased and delivered to the family. The Church of Christ Student Center pro- vides a regular monthly publication known as the Uplifter. The purpose of the paper is to provide students with information con- cerning programs and activities associated with the center.
