Community Relations Coordinator
SGA Community Relations Coordinator: Jessica Weaver
Hi everybody! I’m Jessica Weaver, your 2011/2012 Community Relations Coordinator! I am a Senior Liberal Studies major, emphasizing in Social Sciences. I have a wide span of interests, all including the opportunity to serve and get to know others. I’m really excited for this opportunity to create connections between our campus community and the greater community that we are a part of. We’re all called to be salt and light and how can we do that if we’re not engaging in the community around us? We’re called to be set apart but this does not mean that we are to hide away, but to penetrate the darkness and shed God’s light and love. I hope that this will be the mind-set of all of us this coming year as we further our education and learn what it means to be God’s hands and feet.
I can’t wait to see how God works in and through all of us this coming year!
Jessica Weaver
My Inspiration
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. ~Mother Teresa
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. ~Benjamin Disraeli
We are a church on the move, an instrument in the hand of God, proclaiming the Good News, nurturing new converts, we are instruments of peace and reconciliation and justice in the hands of God. We are the means of healing hurts, of building community, of feeding the hungry. We are a worshipping Spirit-filled community, who know that we can do God’s work only in God’s way with God’s means, and so we have an engaged spirituality that places first things first. We are God’s partners, God’s agents of transfiguration, to change the ugliness of the world, its hatred, its hostilities, its jealousies, its hunger, its poverty, its injustice, its oppression, its alienation, its loneliness, its rivalry, its competitiveness, its grasping, its sickness, into their glorious counterparts; so that there will be laughter and joy, sharing and caring, justice, reconciliation and peace, and compassion. For we have seen the Lord high and lifted up and we have heard him say ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ and we are saying ‘Here we are Lord, send us’. ~Archbishop Tutu
