Last night, at Newman Night we started our first 3-week series with a night on “Seen.” We spent the night meeting new people in the room and playing fun games to get to know them. We also heard a little bit from our AWESOME Campus Minister, Nate Ediger about how he has been seen during his faith journey. Mahala Boothe, our retreat chair, also shared about how she has grown in her faith at Newman thanks to people seeing and believing in her.
As we start off the semester, it is easy to believe that we are alone. That no one is as stressed as I am, so I must be doing something wrong. That we have to go through the semester alone, but last night showed us that the Newman Community is often going through the same things. One game we played last night showed us that we have all been impacted by someone seeing us and making us feel welcomed, we all want community, and we all want to grow in our faith this year. At Newman, everyone is always welcome to join our community to grow in faith collectively.
