OSRL FLOURISHING FELLOWS PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION
Applications due Monday, September 5 - Apply here
This program seeks 12-15 full-time undergraduate students to serve as Flourishing Fellows for the 2022-2023 academic year. We seek candidates from diverse spiritual, religious, nonreligious, and ethical backgrounds. Specific responsibilities of the Flourishing Fellows include: 
(1)  Participate in a two-day off-campus retreat away from campus to bond as a group and to take a deep dive into the work of listening, connecting, and developing friendships. Flourishing Fellows will arrive back on campus with a toolbox for meeting new peers and deepening relationships with existing friends. 
(2)  Participate in a weekly lunch meeting, which will allow fellows to further develop skills, continue bonding as a group, and work as a group to manage the challenges they face.
(3)  Coordinate coffee/tea meetings with 40 fellow Emory students over the academic year. Engagements might happen in the DCT or at Kaldi’s (Fellows will have a coffee budget) or strolling around campus. In these conversations, Flourishing Fellows will be tasked with creating a reflective space for delving deeper, making connections, and imagining innovative opportunities for community engagement. 
(4)  Fellows can develop different ways to engage students for these meetings–they might start with acquaintances, or advertise the opportunity to meet for coffee and a meaningful conversation, or potentially even receive a referral for a coffee chat.
(5)  Participate in alternate weekly one-on-one supervision meetings with the program director for coaching and guidance. 
For questions, please contact Emory Associate Chaplain Rabbi Jordan Braunig at jordan.braunig@emory.edu

WORLD REFUGEE DAY
Monday, June 20, 2022 - Visit the Catholic Relief Services website here
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honor refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. Our faith teaches us that every person is created in God’s image and that we must treat all people with dignity and respect. Catholic social teaching reminds us of God's preferential option for people who are poor and vulnerable. And Scripture repeatedly says to welcome and care for the foreigner and others who are especially vulnerable. As our displaced global family members seek safety and opportunities they cannot find in their home countries, let us take action to support them and address the issues that contribute to this global humanitarian crisis.

Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible Series
Sunday, May 15 at 10:30 AM - Cannon Chapel Room 105D
Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how to read the Bible so that you can actually understand it. Aided by the unique color-coded Bible Timeline® Chart, which arranges the key people, places, and events of Scripture in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program includes video presentations that explore all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline Chart.

Support Your Campus Ministry
You may not think you’re in a position to make a difference through charitable giving, however, we believe that learning to support the mission of the Church is an integral part of being formed as a disciple. Charitable giving is an act of love, rooted in Christ. Please consider making or inviting your family to make a small sacrificial gift in support of our daily ministry expenses - the Masses, programs and events, salaries for staff, and more rely heavily on your support! We humbly ask that you consider making a contribution

Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible Series
Sunday, April 24 at 10:30 AM Emory University Cannon Chapel Room 105D
Many Catholics want to read the Bible because they know it is God’s Word, but they give up because it seems so complicated. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps you get the “big picture” by showing how fourteen narrative books of the Bible tell the complete story from Adam and Eve to Christ and the Church. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows you how to read the Bible so that you can actually understand it. Aided by the unique color-coded Bible Timeline® Chart, which arranges the key people, places, and events of Scripture in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you discover the story of salvation history and understand how you fit into God’s plan. This eight-session study program includes video presentations that explore all twelve time periods of The Bible Timeline Chart.
