Greetings, Cohort!
I hope you are having a delightful summer so far – Isn’t
this just the best time of the year?
One of the sad things right now for me is that we have to
say good-bye to Chana and Zach. They are packing up and I believe their
departure date is set for July 5th. Maybe they can post on the blog
for us and give us up to date information about their plans. We are happy for
them to be setting out on this new adventure, and praying God’s choice blessings
to come their way!
The July 27-29 NRSD retreat is bearing down on us,
Cohort! I hope you are making progress on your reading and studying. Here are
some reminders:
·
Have your year-end review ready to share. What
have you learned? How have you grown?
·
This month I have to hear from each one of you
concerning your ideas for a senior project. At the retreat everyone will have
their turn sharing their project plans, so you have to come prepared and able to tell us how can we help you accomplish your goals.
As I announced, Dr. Joel Lawrence from Bethel Seminary
will be presenting a seminar on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He will be presenting on
Saturday morning, July 28, at 10 a.m.
NRSD extends an invitation to anyone who is interested in
hearing Dr. Lawrence present. Cohort, I encourage you to invite friends and
family to come that morning to learn about Bonhoeffer.
You might also invite people you think are interested in
learning more about the school. They are welcome to hang out for the morning
and/or afternoon classes as well as the Bonhoeffer seminar to get a taste for
what the school offers.
We have had several inquiries about a new cohort
beginning in the fall, so it is a distinct possibility that we will start up a
new class then rather than waiting until 2013. Now is the time to bring the
invitation to your friends. We will need at least 10-15 committed people to
form a Fall 2012 NRSD Cohort.
I will be eagerly awaiting your call or visit so we can
get your Senior project going. You all have had Marilyn Gleason’s invitation to
register for her blog. She is regularly posting on the blog along with another more
personal piece as her senior project. It is a wonderful project that will help
her find her personal and prophetic voice. Support her by registering on her
blog site.
I am getting really excited already about the wonderful
July retreat. Be preparing and praying!
Love and hugs,
