The Heights of Glory!



Before sending out my final newsletter in a few days, I thought I would take you all through some of our last events here at Rutgers. Enjoy!

Here's how we prayed and reached out to the Rutgers Campus during Holy Week:

 Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper

Stations of the Cross on Campus at Brower Commons

Good Friday Veneration of the Cross





The Easter Vigil
AKA: the Biggest party the Church has!
. We celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus by entering into a powerful Mass and welcoming new students who were baptized and brought into the church!
 

We had a party after Mass to continue the celebration!
"Do not abandon yourselves to despair, we are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!" 
St. John Paul II





We also had our first ever Parent's Lord's Day. We normally have Lord's Days a few times a semester. During Lord's Day we bring in Sunday with special prayers, a time of worship, and a great meal. This time the students invited their parents so that they could get a glimpse into our CSA family.  


  

Our last Women's Group was quite the celebration of the new Life the Lord has brought us as a Women's Community!

 Our Spring Skit Night was a blast! (See the Spring Newsletter for more details!)


We rounded out the year with our End of the year Banquet. It was night filled with great Joy in celebrating how far the Lord has brought us individually and corporately! 


 Please stay tuned in the mail for my last newsletter. There is so much to be grateful for as I come to the end of my three years of Missionary Service here at Rutgers. What a gift the Lord has given me in being able to walk alongside these men and women!
"With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you not only the Gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us...And for this reason we too give thanks to God unceasingly, that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us, you received not a human word but, as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in you who believe."
1 Thessalonians 2:8,13
