In this devotion, Kate Schlechter ’93 M.Div., considers our nos and God’s yeses. Read today’s God Pause.

Thanks to everyone who made our first-ever off-site RFS experiment such a success! To our intrepid faculty and staff supporters, our generous hosts at Mount Olivet, our bus drivers, and, most of all, our students who arrived with so much grace, curiosity, and willingness to learn in a new setting—thank you! We learned a lot and are already thinking about how to use these lessons going forward. It was a privilege to be in community together, even in the midst of such a difficult time for the Twin Cities. If you received the follow-up survey link and have not already done so, please complete the survey when you are able. Your feedback matters.
With gratitude,
—Off-Site RFS Planning Team
