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.

Join us today at noon in the Nanticoke room in the Stamp Student Union!

Our L3 topic this Wednesday is

Holding Fast to Our Compass: Cultivating Inner Peace

How do you find a way to nurture yourself and stay
centered when stress or challenges are whirling all around you?

So hope to see you at 1 p.m. tomorrow, Nanticoke Room.

Come and receive some encouragement and strength for the exams to come.

12 - 1:30 p.m. Pyon Su Room 2108, Stamp Union

Last week we had a powerful discussion about how some of us honestly feel about being students or staff on campus. Each of us has significant life challenges besides just studying or doing our jobs.

This week we’ll catch up on how everyone is doing with the latest barrage of campus and world events.

What have been some of your challenges this week? Have you been impacted by the “Me too” movement?

What are some positive, tangible ways we can be supportive of each other? Others on campus?

How can we help to create a campus climate where everyone truly feels welcome and valued?

How can our faith or secular core values help us to take actions to bring people together to heal divisions and conflict? Inspire us to live lives of encouragement and hope?

Friends and roommates always welcome! : )

Hope to see you soon.

Hey All!

We have a lot of exciting things coming up this week.

First, however, just letting everyone know that Sunday evening worship is CANCELLED for tomorrow evening. Never fear though: we still have a full week of fantastic faith-inspiring programming!

On Wednesday, we have our Power of Purpose lunch discussion. It is at noon in the Pyon Su room in stamp, This discussion is a great place if you have questions about your career goals or about your faith. This interfaith space is also an opportunity for a FREE LUNCH!

On Thursday, there is an Interfaith Prayer Vigil for DACA and Dreamers that UCM is participating in at 6pm in Memorial Chapel.

Finally, this Saturday is our day-retreat to The Porch in Lucketts. We will spend the morning having faith-based discussions about purpose with Gary Mears, who is leading this new worshipping community before an afternoon of SERVICE.
