“In Christi Gloriam”
Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
God only knows how many people descended onto Harvard’s aged campus last week as the Classes of 2022, 2021 and 2020 were honored for their achievements. We thank God for the graduates who have aligned themselves with the original founders' intentions “for the glory of Christ.” Please join us in praying a blessing on these dear friends as they transition to the next chapter in their lives.

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
It’s summertime in Princeton! Seeing the beauty of the season in full bloom I’m reminded of the Psalmist who wrote “The earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord” (Psalm 33:5). The whirlwind of the spring 2022 term may be over, yet the work of Christian Union Nova continues.
As the spring term closed, we invited thirty-two students from Christian Union campuses to spend two weeks with us in Northfield, Massachusetts at the inaugural Spiritus Conference. What an incredible experience to worship in the historic home of D.L. Moody. Through morning and evening teaching sessions, Spirit-filled worship, and engaging in community over meals and candid prayer, students experienced the powerful love of Jesus.

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Penn! Our seniors have officially graduated, while others are off to summer internships, jobs, or study abroad programs. It is tough to send off the seniors, knowing that may be the last time I see them in person for the foreseeable future; however, I rejoice knowing how well they have been equipped in their faith to transform the world around them, and I look forward to seeing the fruit of their lives.

Dear Cornerstone Partners and friends of CU Lux,
Successful people brag. They produce their images of success and unleash their propaganda in ads, campaigns, and Instagram posts. That’s because success stories attract influencers, mobilize resources, generate opportunities, and raise the standard of living. Successful people mostly brag about wisdom, might, and wealth.

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Christian Union Nova!
The days are sunny-bright, and yet quite chilly, as students have begun leaving campus to begin internships and work for the summer. There is a pensive busyness on campus, but also a buoyancy that has in effect made the Melrose Center abuzz while Bible courses end and one-on-one meetings take place to close the year. The personification of resilience and fortitude is at its best!

Hello CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit (Romans 8:1-4).

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
We’re wrapping up the year here at Penn. Seniors are preparing for graduation and transitioning to the workforce or ministry fellowships, while other students are preparing for summer jobs or internships. To close out the year, we connected seniors with alumni resources, concluded our gospel campaign, and conducted our spring formal.

Dear Cornerstone Partners and friends of CU Lux,
Many blessings from Christian Union Lux at Yale University! Thank you for your faithfulness in continuing to support us with your fervent prayers.
If you have been praying for Yale students this semester, know that God listens and answers. God has carried and sustained our students with his tremendous grace and goodness.

Greetings from Christian Union Libertas! We are so thankful for your partnership in supporting the work here at Brown.
The students are in the middle of reading week, studying for final exams, and putting the final touches on papers and group projects. Our seniors are looking forward to commencement exercises later this month.

Greetings from Christian Union Lumine at Columbia! We praise God for partners like you who support the work He is doing through this ministry.
The students are in finals week and seniors are preparing for graduation! It has been a beautiful sight to see seniors in the gowns walking all around campus and Morningside Heights, taking photos, and preparing for graduation in a few weeks.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Hello from Hanover and greetings from CU Vox. We are midway through spring term and rapidly approaching graduation. We have much in front of us in the life of this ministry and are excited about what God is doing on campus. A few brief highlights from the past month are: a successful and enjoyable student retreat, the new student executive team is settled in and thriving, and attendance in Bible courses is up. All of this wonderful gospel work is only possible because of God’s faithfulness, the efforts of the students, and your prayerful support.

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Nostalgia: a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
Greetings from Cambridge!
I have had the privilege of watching a lot of senior skits through the years, but the underclassmen who impersonated their beloved senior friends the other day were truly next level. In several scenes and for fifteen minutes their silly lines and exaggerated gestures wonderfully captured each person’s personalities and idiosyncrasies.

“This is my Father’s world and to my listening ears, all nature sings and round me rings, the music of the spheres.” It is the spring term here at Dartmouth. If you’ve ever been to Hanover in April it doesn’t mean warm temperatures or even the end of snow, but it does represent newness and rebirth.

We have about four weeks of the spring semester remaining before we enter finals time. Pray for the students as they come to the end of their semester and start mapping out their internships and summer plans.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
This month I am writing to ask for your prayers — and your attendance — at a special event: “God at Work: Revival Then and Now” on April 23.
The Christian Union Vita Cornerstone Board, made up of Cornell alumni from the classes of 1972 through 2020, has planned a great morning featuring a robust panel of alumni and others who were part of the Jesus Movement here in the 1970s. The event will include teaching on revival, prayer, worship, and a chance for alumni and current students to connect. It should be a powerful morning to remember how God moved here during that time and to pray that revival might come again at Cornell and beyond.

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Cambridge!
The pace has quickened as we have crossed the marker into April and lean into the final lap. What an unusual and challenging race! When we gathered in the fall, only the senior class had logged more than one (normal) semester on campus. Student leaders, recognizing the need to gather and build a community, majored in hospitality and friendship. They prayed to reclaim what was lost. They believed God for growth – depth and breadth. They were determined to make the most of the time (Eph. 5:15-17).

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. Psalm 145:5-7Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Spring has launched and we’ve been on a rollercoaster of God’s goodness!

Hello CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
I have great news: Christian Union Caritas was officially recognized as a student group by Stanford at the end of March! Many students over the years have worked toward and eagerly anticipated this milestone. We thank God for their labors and prayers, and for His gracious provision! We are also grateful to the leadership in Stanford’s Office of Student Engagement and Office of Religious and Spiritual Life for partnering with Christian Union in this way. Recognition will afford Christian Union students many privileges and responsibilities that we have not had to this point, such as the ability to table at activities fairs, advertise Christian Union in official Stanford communications, access a wider array of meeting spaces, and more. As Christian Union students reach out to incoming freshmen during the beginning of the year, they are hoping that recognition will provide a significant boost to their efforts. Please thank God along with us!
