🧑💻GPS Workshop: Practicing the Sabbath in Graduate School |
In the busyness of graduate school, rest can feel like something optional, a bonus, or something we don't even know how to practice. Join us for a workshop exploring what Sabbath is and some common misconceptions about it. We will share some practical tools and resources for building faithful rhythms of rest into life as a graduate student. We will close with a time for open discussion and Q&A. Zoom link available here!

Bicycle Drive for McLennan County Specialty Courts |
Specialty treatment and restorative justice courts are a nationwide program to offer alternatives to incarceration for clients. Many of the clients who are served by these courts are facing social barriers, such as access to transportation.
We are working in coordination with one of the local court system case managers in the court system to hold an ongoing bike drive/collection to improve access to care through increased transportation access. They will even fix the bikes for clients for free if repairs are needed. Please fill out this form to coordinate your bike donation if you have an unused bike!
