I hope you are enjoying this wonderful New England fall weather! (Seriously, isn't it great?!)
Anyway, this is your friendly weekly reminder that our Covenant Group will meet tomorrow morning at 8:00am in Divinity Hall.
Adam Wert has offered to provide a light breakfast. Thank you Adam!
We hope to see you all there!

Greetings HDS Methodists,
I hope the start to your academic year has gone well. This important email is to remind you of upcoming events and to ask for further suggestions.
1) The Student Activities Fair is this Tuesday, September 7, from 5:30-6 in the Braun Room (Community Tea starts at 4:30). Thank you to Allison and Jessica for agreeing to be there (and, Thomas, if you can be there too that would be great! The more representation the better!)
2) Also on Tuesday, we meet with the Wednesday Noon Service Steering Committee to discuss our plans for our upcoming Noon Service on September 22. All who can be in attendance for this meeting on September 7 please come! We must have an outline for our service by then. It sounds like we are in agreement to open with prayer and then intersperse scripture readings between several hymns. WE NEED MORE HYMN SUGGESTIONS! So far we have Lord of the Dance, Of for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, and God of the Sparrow...ALSO, would someone like to deliver a short homily? We have 45 minutes to an hour to fill so maybe even two short ones? Allison, would you like to speak on how your Methodist faith impacts your view of religious tolerance, especially as it pertains to the mosque issue in NYC? Will anyone else offer to give a homily?
3) Our FIRST Wednesday Morning Covenant Group will meet this Wednesday, September 8, at 8:00am on the first floor of Divinity Hall. We will be meeting in the small room with the computer that is to the left of Belva's. The Religious Group Leaders Meeting conflicts with this time so I am sure we will be missing a few members (myself included) but I look forwarded to starting off a new year of HDS Methodist's Covenant Group!
Thank you all and have a great three-day weekend!

As the year draws to a close...
The 2009-2010 academic year was a great one for us HDS Methodists. We had enough interest from our enthusiastic first-year class and enough returning second and third year students to reinstate the weekly Covenant Group meetings. Through our early Wednesday morning meetings we made new friends with whom to share our joys and concerns, friends we now meet for coffee in between classes and friends we work closely with on other committees and service organizations. With your help we will continue and grow the HDS Methodist presence on campus next year and continue to "strengthen the bonds that unite us."
At this time of year, I want to wish you all Good Luck! Sometimes that seems to be all we can say to one another :-) Good luck on final exams, final papers, job applications, moving, summer language study, CPE, continuing the steps of ordination, travel, preaching, and welcoming new life. God be with you in all that you do.
Keep in touch over the summer...check the blog once in awhile. We HDS Methodists will surely be meeting for Covenant Group next year but there may be more going on...new activities, new opportunities. So check back in and offer up your opinions as we discuss where to take the HDS Methodists in the 2010-2011 academic year!

New Positions for 2010-2011
HDS Methodists! It is now that time of year when we need to declare our intent to be an Officially Recognized Group at HDS for 2010-2011. And, of course, we intend to be! However, in order to accomplish this task, we need 2 new committee members: a Treasurer and an Events Contact person. These positions are currently being held by the dynamic duo of Emma Crossen and Mike Nilon, but alas they are graduating this year. The jobs are not strenuous, and are more a formality than an actual responsibility since our activities consist of mainly our Covenant Group. But...if you so chose there is, of course, much room for growth; if you would like to make a commitment to either of these positions and take it to the next level (Methodist service opportunities, more involvement with other groups on campus, etc.) let me know either by email or at Wednesday morning Covenant Group. We need your signature ASAP! Thanks, and Happy Easter!
