New On Our Blog
The art of letter writing has always been a powerful way to communicate. Did you know you can use letter writing as a spiritual tool as well? 

Featured on the Chaplain’s Blog this week, Travis writes about the practice of writing a letter to God. Get what is going on inside of you on paper in a meaningful way. Of course, you can always talk to God wherever you are, but writing a letter can be a concrete way to communicate to the Divine the feelings you are experiencing and the needs you have. 
Programs
