FINAL THOUGHTS | from Sharon
|
|
|
Longings, laments, passions and celebrations.
There wasn't a specific theme in mind for this edition of Mosaic eNews, however, as I read through the stories these alumni have shared with us, I recognize something emerging: a dance perhaps? Individuals listening for the music, being patient with themselves as they take up new choreography while learning to lean ever deeper into God's passionate embrace.
Daily I'm humbled to learn about the various works and missional enterprises that our alumni are involved with. I hope that you too can see how, even in the midst of ordinary times, God is deeply at work in these people and the communities he's called them to serve; whether in the local church, the local neighbhourhood, or research and writing within the challenges of the academy.
What about your ordinary times? Learning any new dance steps lately?
Why not take a few minutes and update your profile or simply send me an email at sforsyth@regent-college.edu and share some of the ways you are experiencing God's passionate embrace.
Sharon Forsyth, Director of Alumni Relations
