How does creativity, your own or the creativity of others, impact your life?
Do you consider creativity a spiritual practice or an expression of your core values?

L3 This Week: Travel and Calling
How can travel influence spiritual/religious/secular perspectives and help us find our life purpose?
Amanda Zimmerman is our special Guest Speaker this Wednesday, 4/11, at L3:Power of Purpose.
Amanda is interning with the Lutheran Campus Ministry – The Humble Walk, as Program and Administrative Assistant.
She will share her incredible experience of recently visiting the Holy Land; how it impacted her Christian faith, and inspired her to take steps towards living out what she now feels called to do.
“That trip opened my eyes to so many more possibilities than I thought would be on my horizon.” Amanda
At L3 we always value and honor diverse perspectives around our lunch table.
After hearing Amanda’s story, those of us gathered will also have the opportunity to share how travel has transformed us, our spiritual or secular worldviews, and may have impacted our sense of life purpose, or urged us on to help others.
Hope you will come and support Amanda and join us for a great program!
12 – 2 p.m., Nanticoke Room, Stamp Student Union

Easter Week and Beyond
Jesus Christ is Risen Indeed! As we begin our celebration of the Easter season, we are incredibly grateful for all of the fantastic Holy Week events United Campus Ministry was able to participate in. We are especially grateful for the ecumenical Good Friday Stations of the Cross that we co-hosted with the Catholic, Lutheran, and Baptist chaplaincies, as well as with Memorial Chapel at the University of Maryland. We also enjoyed a fantastic bible study on John 20: 11-18, wherein the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene on the evening of Easter Sunday. Moving forward, we will be participating in another interfaith/ecumenical service this coming Wednesday, in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Following this service, we will have our standard Power of Purpose discussion beginning at 1:15.
Activism and Advocacy: Our Role
Join us today at noon in the Nanticoke room in the Stamp Student Union!
Our weekly Power of Purpose discussion will be following up on the 3/8 event Peacebuilding in a New Age.
For those of you who were not there, we talked about how we can use social media for awareness and activism. During this discussion, we will be discussing the why and how to determine what your role can be.
We will ask questions like:
What am I passionate about?
What can I do for that cause?
What can I do for that cause?
And:
What should my role be in this call?
How can I be helpful?
Courtney L3: Listen, Learn, Lead intern will be leading the discussion.
Lunch will be Chicken parmesan, and Greek salad.
Join UCM and MICA this Thursday at 3:45 in the Charles Carroll Room in Stamp for food, fellowship, and this fantastic program!
