J-Term has been good for me.
I was having a difficult time as the Fall semester was ending and I was
very worried about my grades. I had some personal struggles, I serve
on a Board of Directors which was in the process of not recommending our
executive for re-election, and I was starting a new job. There was a
lot going on. Luckily I came through in good shape.
My J-Term class (as I talked about
last time) is amazing! We worship with the Quinn Chapel AME church last
Sunday, spent the day with the pastor on Monday and then worked in
their food distribution ministry on Thursday and attended a special
worship service for the folks off the street who come in for food. It
was very powerful and we learned SO much about the AME church and inner
city ministry, not to mention the history of the black church. We’ve
had a lot of reading, but combined with the first-hand experience, we
had a great class.
