Coming into UW, it was important to me that I find a community where I felt comfortable and where I could grow in my faith. This quarter, I joined a Christian fellowship, called Common Ground, where I've been able to get connected and grow spiritually. Through CG, I've joined a girls' accountability group, or FAT (Faithful, Available, Teachable) Club, where I've gotten to just sit down and openly share my life with an amazing group of girls in CG every week (photo 1 & 2). I have also been going to prayer meetings every Thursday (photo 3) where I've been able to reset, share, and reflect on my week with others. CG has also had some events this quarter like Corn Maze (photo 4), and Cook Off which have allowed me to take a step back from the stresses of school and have some fun. It has been so encouraging for me to be part of a community of people who spur each other on and challenge each other in faith. Overall, I'm just super excited for all that I'll be able to learn through the people, bible studies, and fellowship in CG this year.
