Running for Refugees

Posted on February 1, 2009 | 4 Comments

I ran my first 5 K race today! It was a benefit for Integrated Immigrant and Refugee Services (IRIS). Some Elm City Vineyard folk took the prize for group costume – they came as a flock of sheep led by a shepherd. More pictures to come…

Kathryn’s Sendoff

Posted on February 1, 2009 | Leave a comment

Elm City Vineyard had a little send-off party for one of our sisters yesterday.

kathryn Kathryn, a recent graduate of Yale, originally hails from Zimbabwe. She’s leaving for South Africa to study forced migration and who knows… someday, she might become the president of Zimbabwe.

It was sweet to drift around the edges of conversations – to catch snippets here and there – friends telling her how much life she has brought to them.

It’s wonderful to be sent off by a church that knows how to say goodbye well.
