Thursday, January 16, 2020, after chapel, come join us for Why Jesus? It is our community’s experiment on spiritual formation and story sharing. This event is supported by Aus Memorial Lecture on Evangelism and Spirit Lab. We will have Heather Pratt, MDiv student, sharing her story of faith and answering these two key questions: Why are you a Christian? What difference does Jesus make in your life?

Come and support Heather! We will meet at our regular place in Dining Room C from 11:30-12:30pm. Soup and bread will be provided.

*Not on campus? The faith stories will be posted in Community Life Facebook.
