"...Giving them a garland instead of ashes,The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting

They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations...."

We will begin our semester offerings (of service, friendship, formation) in February, and will make sure you know about them before-hand.
But meanwhile, let us work and sleep and LIVE with the prayers for the oppressed on our lips.
