Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. -Hebrews 12:1-3
I'd like to give a special welcome to everyone new to the ebody newsletter! I hope you all will find the YSC community to be a great place to make friends, escape from the chaos of Yale, learn about God, and grow in your faith. For me, my friends at YSC and the YSC staff have been a constant source of joy as well as a lifeline during some very trying times here at Yale. I hope you'll find it the same for you; I'm confident you will.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! Always feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
