Hey everyone! Sorry that these posts have been lacking. Unfortunately, I've been sick on and off for about a month, which has caused me to play some major catch-up games.
There has been A LOT going on at Canterbury in the last month or so, from making valentines cards to be distributed to nursing homes, to hearing Larry Bouchard talk about religious themes in theatre.
Also, the healthcare reform passed through our Congress and has been a major step towards social justice. As with any social legislation, it's not perfect at first, but hopefully the kinks will be worked out over time.
We've also been moving forward in our Lenten series over at Canterbury, where we focus on improving our lives and ministries while preparing for Easter. During Lent, Canterbury decided to take the average of what was spent on meals during the regular school year and instead make meals out of soups, bread, cheeses, and fruits so that we can use the difference between the cost of our Lenten meals and our non-Lenten meals as a charity donation. All the money we save during Lent will be donated to the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund, which will then send those contribution to the relief efforts underway in Haiti.
This Sunday many Canterbury students will be involved in a re-enactment of the Passion during the 5.30 service, so if you're available it should be worth seeing!
Enjoy the beautiful weather!
