COVID-19 Update: 老司机传媒 Opportunities

Greetings, students, employees and families!

Earlier this year, we shared with you our whole-person wellness strategy titled Made to Thrive. That's true, possible and even more pertinent now that our campus community is physically distant. We are Made to Matter especially during times like these. Below are various opportunities that the Spirit of the Living God can use to draw us together as a University faith community.

First, we are inviting you into the story "In the Suffering: Finding Joy Amid Despair." We will journey through the book of James together. This will include a weekly guide, prayer opportunities, weekly panel discussion, and Facebook livestream vespers for all of the campus community on Friday nights at 8 p.m. We begin this Friday night, March 27, from the 老司机传媒 Facebook page.

Secondly, we are providing the following connection opportunities to students and employees. All times listed are EST (Eastern Standard Time).

Can I leave you with a brief thought?
Have you ever wondered how the right melody for the moment just begins to move your heart and bend your thoughts toward the assurance that Someone IS taking care of you? Want to know what I believe? I believe YHWH takes time during a hectic day to be present in my life by singing over me. I feel that this loving God is making melodies in my heart.

The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

As much as I like to think I'm extra special, I doubt I'm alone in this. What songs is YHWH singing to you? Would you send me a quick email to let me know? I can use your songs as encouragement as well. Two songs God is blessing me with: “Good Grace, Good God” and “Puedes Confiar en El Señor.”

Finally, let's show kindness to each other by engaging in the ways to be socially and spiritually close, even if we have to be physically apart. Even now we are Made to Thrive.

With a song in my heart,

José Bourget
University Chaplain
