It's that time of year again. The first week of classes is halfway through and Pittsburgh is buzzing with activity. Things really get crowded around here once the students move back. Traffic is awful, lines are long, buses are crowded, and the gym is full (at least for the first week).
We had our first meeting of the student leaders for Pittsburgh Metro last Friday. It was amazing to see all of the students so excited about the upcoming year. Some of the students shared stories from their summer and it was obvious that God was working in their lives even while they weren't in Pittsburgh. We took time to worship during the meeting and it was incredible to hear voices, accompanied by a single guitar, praising with excitement and conviction.
The annual welcome back BBQ happened Saturday. Despite some hang ups in location and food prep, we had a great turnout. It was encouraging to see the returning students being so intentional in welcoming new students. And finally prayers needed for our first Cru meeting tonight! Pray that God would raise up more students to be involved and for more leaders from other campuses to emerge.
Also be praying for me as I continue to work on making the transition from college student to the adult world. As the students started class this past Monday, I felt the desire for routine creeping back. I love structure and that isn't necessarily one of the luxuries of working in ministry.
In other news - I am excited to make an appearance at my first Pitt football game as an Alum this weekend! GO PANTHERS!
