My cat, Calamity!
Training week has come and gone.
It was a very informative week full of amazing work from people all over the world. I never realized how big our church actually was and how much of an impact it has around the globe.
It is nice to know that so many people are here for me and my fellow Peace Interns during the summer and in the future.
Training week was not anything like I was expecting. I knew it was most likely going to be different because of COVID, but I am a little sad that I wasn’t actually able to meet all the wonderful people in person. Maybe I will get to meet a few of them eventually.
I was shown a lot of different resources for a lot of different topics, but there were only a couple that stood out to me a lot. One of those was AllianceQ. I knew of it coming into Training Week, but a lot more was shown to me. We got to zoom in on a service honoring Allen V. Harris’s 30th Ordination Anniversary which was amazing. It was so nice to see people come together to celebrate someone who has broken so many barriers.
I’m super excited for this summer and all the amazing people I get to meet and have good conversations with. I get to learn more and hopefully influence campers as much as I was influenced when I was in camp.
