Last week, we officially jumped into the school year with two wonderful days of extending a warm Wahoo Welcome to students and their families at Lattes on the Lawn. We loved sharing refreshing drinks and delightful conversations with all who stopped by, from first years settling into Grounds to fourth year “Lawnies” (students who live on the Lawn)!
As we reflect on the event, we praise God for the opportunity to meet over 55 students and many of their families. The unexpected connections we discovered chatting with new friends alongside the joyful updates we shared in reuniting with returning friends, filled us with invigorating anticipation of building and broadening our community this year.
The range of locations, experiences, and interests in the backgrounds of these students reminded us of God’s hand in bringing a diverse group together to reflect on and aspire towards shared flourishing at Theological Horizons. Realizing the range of ways people found us, from the coffee piquing their interest as they walked by to receiving an outreach email earlier in the summer, highlighted God’s hand in working through many different ways to bring people to our community. We respond with humble gratitude and eager anticipation for the year ahead.
Please enjoy this photo gallery capturing this time of smiles and specialty drinks, such as the popular dirty chai (a combination of chai and coffee)!
