A sea of smiling faces and a warm spaghetti dinner greeted students who attended the Christian Campus House Monday night. An hour later, students twirled and danced to salsa music, courtesy of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.

“I came to Eastern knowing I wanted to get involved in a Christian group,” Swigart said.

Adam Caldwell, a sophomore art major, was invited to the Christian Campus House when he was a freshman.

“The people here reach out to you and want you to get involved,” Caldwell said.

“I’m trying out all the churches to choose the one I like the best,” Knoblauch said.

Emily Dalby, a junior elementary education major, said she attended the dinner because she’s a Christian and wanted to have fellowship.

Enthusiastic dancers arrived at 7th Street Underground for salsa lessons. Lessons were given for the first hour. Then students took what they learned and danced.

“I like the people and what I’ve learned,” Bauer said.

“I enjoy the fellowship and the time spent with God; it has also helped with my Christian growth,” Whittington said.
