| Beyer Computer Lab Meets Student Needs |
|
 The computer lab at Austin Grad is becoming a popular gathering place for students. Thanks to the generosity of Louise Beyer, students use the lab to research and write class papers. During the Building the Dream Campaign, Mrs. Beyer donated the funds for the lab in memory of her husband, Dr. Jim Beyer (1939-2007).
Several friends of Austin Grad provided the money for four new computers, monitors and desks. The use of smaller computers and wall-mounted monitors leave adequate space in the lab for small group discussions and seminar-style classes.

| Sermon Seminar |
|
The 30th Annual Sermon Seminar is scheduled for May 23-25, 2011.
This is what one participant had to say about last year's seminar:
I came here feeling tired and broken in ministry. God used the speakers to revive and inspire my work for the Lord. I feel more a part of the "story" after being here this week. There is nothing quite like Sermon Seminar.
Space is filling up. Register today to reserve your place at Sermon Seminar. Call Debbie at 512/ 476-2772. | | |
