HAPPY LAST WEEK OF CLASSES!
To our Beloved Community,
As we head towards finals and the end of the school year, we have all been challenged to be flexible, to stretch, and grow in surprising ways. I have been inspired by the countless examples of communities and groups coming together to support each other in new and virtual ways during this time of social distancing. I am thankful for ways to connect with all in my community near and far.
My neighborhood has been participating in the daily 7PM cheer for essential workers. I am thankful for my neighbor, a man I have never met in person, who now leads us every day in that cheer from his top floor apartment across the street by ringing his cowbell at exactly 6:59. I am thankful for the creative activities our human community is putting together over Zoom, Facetime, and other platforms.
It has been so very heartening to see the power of the human spirit hard at work with the God who labors to create a new heaven and a new earth. Truly, the Lord is Risen!
Stephanie Roddy, Director of Retreats
