it’s ✨Fellowship Friday✨ with some fall highlights from ! Keeping tagging us in your fellowship fun this semester!

🎶 Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.🎵

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

🎉 Happy New Year from RUF! // “Behold, I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:5

As we prepare for 2024, “may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” (Romans 15:13).

In our year-end ministry report, we’ve collected a few of the countless stories of hope we’ve heard this year. We pray that you are encouraged by seeing the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of college students!

Help us reach students for Christ and equip them to love and serve Jesus for a lifetime by giving today at the link in bio. You will also find the Annual Ministry Report linked— we hope you enjoy reading the stories that celebrate God’s great faithfulness!
