The Fall Appalachia Service-Learning Retreat
The experience of learning and serving in that missionary spirit in the Appalachia region of our nation is a long-standing McNicholas tradition that began in 1981 when Mr. John Norman took the first group of Rockets to Glenmary Farm in eastern Kentucky. Over the decades, this service-learning retreat experience has deepened the commitment of hundreds of McNicholas students to embrace lives rooted in Christian faith and service.
From Tuesday, September 19 through Sunday, September 24, five faculty members will accompany a group of 23 seniors in learning and serving through the Glenmary Home Missioners in Union and Grainger counties in eastern Tennessee. Each day, members of the group will:
·
strengthen the bonds among the members of the McNicholas family and build
community
with the people of eastern
Tennessee
,
· devote time
and energy
in
Christian s
ervice
to the community
through both the works of mercy and the ministry of presence
,
· make a conscious choice to honor the simplicity of a life
with fewer
distractions,
·
and
grow in Christian spirituality
by
draw
ing
near
er
to God
in the beauty of
God's creation
and among the various faith communities of the area.
Please keep the group in your prayers during the coming days, and feel free to follow the group's journey through photos posted to this tripcast. A listing of the participants can be found here.
