As It Is In Heaven
By Arlene Hutton

As It Is In Heaven is a powerful and compelling story about a religious community that is changed when a non-believer has an ecstatic experience. The 1830's Shaker society of Pleasant Hill, Ky., is one of routine and ordered ways. The arrival of Fanny upsets the harmony; the Sisters suspect her to be a "winter Shaker," one who suddenly converts when life gets too hard on the farm. Fanny sees angels in the meadow, and soon all the young women are receiving spiritual "gifts" of songs, drawings, ideas and giggles, which completely upsets the community.

On Friday, February 22, students representing all seven colleges in Spartanburg’s College Town Consortium will join the fight against cancer by participating in Spartanburg Regional Foundation’s first 12-hour dance-a-thon, The All Nighter, to be held at the G.B. Hodge Center on the campus of the University of South Carolina Upstate. The event will run from 8 p.m. on Friday until 8 a.m. on Saturday. At the event, students from Converse College, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine - Carolinas Campus, Sherman College of Chiropractic, Spartanburg Community College, Spartanburg Methodist College, University of South Carolina Upstate, and Wofford College will dance for a full 12 hours! Live entertainment and a DJ will help pass the time along with special performances, games, activities, and more! In order to participate, students are asked to donate $15 and provide contact information for eight friends and/or family members who might be interested in supporting them as they dance the night away. Contacts should NOT include students at colleges participating in the The All Nighter. Registration is quick, easy, and safe at www.collegetownallnighter.com. Once you complete the steps, an automatic confirmation will be sent to the email address provided. If you have questions or prefer to make your registration over the phone, call (864) 560-6727.
