Jesus said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest.”
(Luke 10:2)

We regret that two students were omitted from the earlier version of this email.  This updated New Beginnings column includes all of our interns.  We apologize to Morgan Walker and Jennie White, as well as to their internship congregations and supervisors.

It is with joy and thanksgiving for faithful partners throughout the Church that I share Internship placements for 2021-2023 as well as three placements* for 2021-2022.
