747 -- WEEKLY CREATIVE WORSHIP: We gather each week to worship, discuss, sing, pray, and more! This week, we celebrate Pride Week by inviting the LGBTQ and ally communities to join us as we explore how we all live in exile, how God's love is inclusive, and how we can support each other in life's journey. There will be music, prayer, discussion, and other activities. In the JC Bistro at 7:47pm on Wed 4/1. Facebook event HERE . We affirm the dignity of all people and encourage you to participate however you are most comfortable. Bring a friend! Every week is a different experience. Sponsored by United College Ministries and Lutheran Campus Ministry. http://GMU747.org

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SUMMER CAMP?
You think I'm joking? Nope -- being a camp counselor was one of the most powerful summers of my life. Summer camp changes lives -- both for the campers and the counselors. I would love it if our dedicated faithful students spent this summer in the daily lives of young people. Have I wet your appetite? Drop me a line and we can chat about great places to spend your summer!
