Hey family, friends, & prayer warriors!

Thank you guys so much for taking the time to read this and for how invested you are in knowing about the health and well-being of our ministry!

It is hard to believe that the semester has already come to an end! Can you be praying for the students as we enter Winter Break? 

As much as the break is exciting - a chance to rest & rejuvination, for recentering on God, and for time with loved ones - this time of year can be very difficult.

For many students, it takes a toll on them to have time away from campus & their spiritual community, a rupture in their routine, and more time in upsetting home environments. 

We ended off our semester with a Christmas Service and Party! We reflected on the significance of Jesus's arrival - the hope that God sent in the form of a baby: God present with us. We served dinner, sang Christmas songs, and reflected on discussion questions together, sharing personal stories from our lives. 

Here are some photos from our Christmas Service/Party:

My coworkers (Sirak, Sandra & Joey), our spouses, and I got together the night before our Christmas party to prepare the food for the students! We made baked ziti, garlic bread, and hot chocolate!

We had a gingerbread house making contest during the party and one of the groups decided to do the nativity scene - they made amanger with baby Jesus, the animals, and Mary & Joseph :) so creative and cute!

We got to spend time with my family to celebrate my Aunt Laura's 60th birthday!! 

Thank you so much for your continued support and for believing in our mission to love college students! 

The school year is off to a great start and we are excited for Christmas break and Winter Retreat coming up in January! 

Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions! 

Your sister & campus missionary,

Veronica
