“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” - 1:3-5 (ESV)

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Thank you for your continued support and investment in what the Lord is doing on Harvard’s campus through Christian Union Gloria. By God’s grace and your prayers, we had a wonderful pre-retreat, where the upperclassmen students were able to reconnect in-person after a long time apart. Our times in worship and the Word were a delight, and the students came back to campus ready to welcome the incoming class of 2025 into Christian community.

Please join us in praising God for:

• 51 students in attendance at our Pre-Retreat at Camp Spofford in New Hampshire.
• A great start to the freshman welcome campaign, beginning with the pizza party last weekend, where we met over one hundred new freshmen.

Please join us in praying for:

• A fruitful first-year welcoming campaign; that many students would attend our events and find a home in Christian community.
• Endurance, creativity, wisdom and favor during the Fall semester for all the CU Gloria faculty as well as the student Ministry Team Leaders, Executive Team and Assistant Bible Course Leaders.
• A strong start to the Bible courses that will be regathering to relaunch or launching for the first time to study Philippians together this Fall.
