Dear CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Stanford!

On September 17, over 1,700 freshmen will begin their Stanford career. For many of them, it will be the most significant transition thus far in their lives. Please join us in praying that the body of Christ at Stanford will make a loving impact on every single one of these freshmen in the weeks and months to come!

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

“He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'” -Rev. 21:5a

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.” -Eph. 3:20-21

What a blessing it is to work for a God who is infinitely creative! He gives us the comfort of routine, but gives us unending variety and newness within it. As we begin this next year, looking forward with profoundly high hopes, I am filled with excitement at the idea that God can do even more than anything I could come up with.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Ithaca!

We are off to an amazing start for the year here at Christian Union Vita! Cornell’s campus is buzzing once more as students fill the streets, hills, and slopes of this beautiful campus, and we have already been hard at work ministering to the thousands of students who are here.

Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Providence!

We are in the middle of working around the clock on our month-long freshman welcoming events, but wanted to share prayer requests and some news.

Last week, Christian Union Libertas students met on campus before convocation to pray for the 2028 class and give out Del's lemonade. Students at Brown only pass through the Van Wickle gates two times: at convocation and graduation, while the church bells from First Baptist Church are ringing. We were blessed to be there meeting many familiar and new faces!

Dear Cornerstone Partners and friends of CU Lux,

Greetings from New Haven!

This month, Christian Union Lux students and leaders are working around the clock to welcome freshmen to our campus and to our ministry! We recently hosted a pre-retreat to plan all the events and details of this month-long campaign and to grow in the Lord!

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from New York City!

We are off and running for the semester here at Christian Union Lumine. Columbia University's campus has come to life and the surrounding streets are buzzing with activity as usual. We have the opportunity to share the gospel with over 9,761 students, which includes a freshman class of 1,500.

Autumn is upon us in New York City!

Christian Union New York is a hive of activity, as young professionals who graduated this spring have officially moved to New York City to start their new careers.

Regular dinners are happening at Christian Union New York to gather rising Christian leaders for encouragement and spiritual strengthening. We are enjoying meeting new brothers- and sisters-in-Christ for the first time, finding profound things in common that serve to unite us far greater than anything the world can offer.

Dear CU Gloria Law Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Harvard Law School!

If you’ve ever visited Harvard, any time during the year, you can go on a guided tour of the campus led at times by current students. One of the stops on the tour is the famous “John Harvard” statue in Harvard Yard. The question is then asked if anyone knows the “3 LIES” of the John Harvard statue with the inscription of “Founder” and the date 1638. This was highlighted in a well known scene in the film, The Social Network, when some men were being tested on this very question in the dead of winter. The three lies that they are referring to are these:

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Penn! We've been working around the clock to welcome freshmen to Penn and to find a strong, loving Christian community at Christian Union Martus! One outreach event we recently held was a trip to Citizens Bank Park to see a Phillies game. We had a blast!

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Cambridge!

September always brings with it a frenetic energy, especially around Harvard Square. Students return in the late weeks of August to reconnect with one another and begin to welcome the new class. Labor Day Weekend is packed with events that lead into the start of a new academic year and a new semester. We at CU Gloria are always so excited and expectant at this time of year, with the many hours spent planning to welcome students back over the summer converting back into the fast-paced schedule of the semester. We believe that God wants to move at Harvard among our students this year, and we are setting ourselves as watchmen to guard and await His move!
