Partner in Prayer Opening Blessing

Tonight was the beginning of Partners in Prayer for this school year. Partners in Prayer is a ministry where college students sign up to partner with a Sister from our community for the year. The partners agree to pray for each other all year and each week the student joins our community for Vespers and Supper. This year we have over 80 students participating in the program! What a blessing these partners are to our community. Below are a few photos from the evening.
