Celebrating Twenty-Five Years Together In Christ
Rebecca Grate (Southern), Jared Lee (Southern), and Stephanie Zinn (Gettysburg). A Christmas recess Project Connect “Monastic Retreat & Research Seminar” with young adults, including two WVU students, is something we would like to replicate on at least a biennial basis. The two “Pilgrimages to Pitt” were, once again, well received. The Lenten pilgrimage was particularly interesting as it included a tour of the second largest relic collection in the world (St. Anthony’s Chapel, Troy Hill). Reformation Daze witnessed the decimation of France at the hands of the Hapsburgs; admittedly, Francis, responding to an assault from Henry, had been drawn to the north, exposing his southern border. “Sanctuary Days” have been held each week of Lent, offering an opportunity to rise for vigils at 6:10 AM and join in the minor prayer offices throughout the day. Use of twitter has made it possible to hold spontaneous “sext & soups,” something worth continuing. Lemonade Stand set a new record, serving 1800 cups of “welcome to campus,” and the men of First Lutheran, Parkersburg, returned for the second annual “Hot Dog Day.” Feel free to contact us should you have any questions. We love visits! So, arrange a visit with the campus ministry for your church group by giving us a call. The Rev. Matthew Lynn Riegel, S.T.M Chaplain
