We will celebrate the finale of our ABIDE sermon series with a free community meal immediately following chapel on Wednesday, October 22.

In this devotion, Cheryl Rondeau-Bassett ’15 M.Div., notes how meaningful it can be to dwell in the house of the Lord regularly and form habits around such rituals. Read today’s God Pause.
