October 22nd is our next Connecting Point event, and we are oh so excited here in the Women's Life Office!!
Our goal for Connecting Point has always been to provide a place for fellowship and spiritual encouragement for our SEBTS girls. This year, however, we've added another objective. Not only do we desire to foster fellowship and spiritual growth amongst our ladies, but we also greatly desire to bring to you practical ways to be involved in ministering to others while you're here at SEBTS!
Now, don't get us wrong...we're well aware that most of you gals are already involved in ministry in some way or another! We just also recognize that between the heavy loads of schoolwork, employment, or family life, ministry to others can often take a back seat. We would like to help you "get that out of your back seat," if you will ;)
This leads us to introduce to you our next Connecting Point event:
Project Community: Connecting to the world around us.
Project Community will take place on October 22nd at 7pm in the Ledford Center (main floor).
What makes this event so special?
Well, at Project Community we plan to present our students and wives with ways in which they can minister to internationals while living right here in the Research Triangle!
What will we do?
Besides enjoying delicious refreshments and fun giveaways, we’ll interact with World Relief and Saturday International Together (SIT), both of whom work with international families and students as they come into the U.S. They’ll talk to us about ways we can minister to these brothers and sisters right now according to their real needs. Because our focus will be ministering to internationals, you’ll actually have an opportunity to do just that. World Relief has sent a list of toiletry items that they distribute in welcome baskets to international families in need (see below). We’ll be collecting those items on the night of the event and donating what we collect straight to World Relief! Oh…and we may or may not learn a few phrases in Korean as well as some Indian (Bali) style dance moves!!
