Today 3/21 we were invited by Hamline grad Tony Wilson to come to a celebration for families with students that participate in the Bible Bowl. It was really heart warming to see the support of the parents and the passion of the students for a bit of competition. The intersections between Family, Faith, and Community are always inspiring. I love to see people come together and embrace each others differences for a common cause, the youth that participate in the Bible Bowl. After the BB we had an opportunity to talk with the pastor at the Salvation Army. I loved hearing his insights about low income housing options in New Orleans, and service in general. It was amazing to hear how both the pastor and Tony had made service a major part of their life, it shows me that as a social justice major there are a lot of opportunities out their to help others and continue service for the rest of my life.
