Now more than ever our community needs ways to connect and resources for support. We feel the great call to make our campus ever more welcoming and aware of injustice. We long to be together and experience the joy of connection. Yet we are kept at a distance. Challenges seem to increase with each day. We need one another and we need the support of our faith if we are to make it through this semester.

All UP students are invited into this opportunity to journey together through this semester. The One Body initiative will provide materials for reflection, connection to peers through small groups, and resources for rooting one’s life in prayer. Framing this journey will be a look into the call offered by the Gospels to remove the barriers that hold us back from experiencing God’s love and from loving our neighbor.
Together we will support one another through:
Students will also be sharing regular reflections via the Pilot Ministry student blog. Access the blog here!
