You`re always invited to share in the fun at Chaplain`s Corner! π€π±β¨
Once a month during our Chaplain`s Corner time, we share a spirituality activity together.
βͺSeptember`s spirituality activity was a visit to Grace Episcopal Church!
π£Father Stuart & Father Brandon took us on a tour of the church grounds, and shared with us about the meaning of many special spaces at their faith community, including the sanctuary`s stained glass windows.
πGillian and Grayson even got to ring the bells in the bell tower!!
πA wonderful time was had by all. A special thank you to Fr. Brandon, Fr. Stuart, and Grace Episcopal Church for your hospitality, kindness and welcome!
Curious about the next spirituality activity? Drop by Chaplain`s Corner anytime to find out more & join in the fun with the Office of the Chaplain at Brenau University!
