U R Special Valentine!

February 14, 2012

Happy Valentine's Day!

No matter where you are on the "love spectrum" this season, I do hope you know how much you are loved at Rolling Hills. Elizabeth Hyndman, friend of RHCC, wrote a great blog called A Guide to Being Single on Valentine's Day. And, if you're interested, there are more great posts about love, sexuality, etc. on RHCC's own Guy Chmieleski's blog called Faith on Campus. He's the University Minister at Belmont and is in the throws of young adults - specifically young 20s. Here's his Valentine's Day post. You can look through the archives for more. Catea

And my personal Valentine's Day plans? (I'm sure you've been wondering that all day!) Hanging with my Small Group and writing a letter to the child I sponsor in Moldova. I'm thinking there is no one better to love on today than this beautiful 12-year-old that I've known for five years who lives far away.

Love you guys & gals,

Laura

Depth:
Going Deeper in your spiritual walk is more than just a "soaking it in" mentality. In addition to study, service is required. That's when the rubber meets the road and you put into action the things you're learning. Here are some specific opportunities to go deeper by serving.

Arrive by 9:10 and serve until 9:40; contact Megan Tanger
