We had good people & good vibes at the Fellowship & Prayer luncheon for Brenau Faculty and Staff! 🤗🐅✨
🙏 Last month, we gathered to pray and fellowship together around the lunch table.
🤲🏾 We held space together and took time to share our prayers and our lives
🦋 God was with us, and it was indeed a good time!
