Midnight study breakfast

Gobin United Methodist Church will host its 12th annual midnight breakfast this Sunday beginning at 11 p.m.

Located directly across the street from the Administration Building, the church expects to serve at least 250 students. On the menu are pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, juices, coffee and water, though some may be disappointed in the exclusion of one breakfast favorite this year.

"No biscuits and gravy, so sorry everyone," said administrative assistant Denise Thede, laughing.

Students are welcome to come into the sanctuary whenever the church is open. Thede said the steady flow of students looking for a quiet place to think is likely what inspired the formation of the event.

"During finals week, we noticed they would come here sometimes to study, sometimes to meditate and pray and things like that," Thede said. "So, I think someone just thought of the idea and went from there."

The Midnight Breakfast will run until 1 a.m., unless the food runs out before then. Thede encourages students to come on Sunday night. She hopes the event will give students a break and something to eat before they get back to work preparing for finals.
