HSC has teamed up with the Asian Studies program Director Julie Rosenthal to help feed needy senior citizens.

Food on the 15th, a program of the Coalition of Geriatric Services (COGS), is an award winning program. They are proud to operate on $0 overhead. They have been in existence for 6 years and have delivered over 9,500 free bags of groceries and toiletries to economically disadvantaged senior citizens at Morningside Park Apartments in Jessup, Maryland as well at the Tiber Hudson building in Ellicott City, MD.

The number of residents we serve varies from month to month, but it is generally between 75-80 residents, many of whom live on just $9k per year. Food on the 15th delivers free groceries around the middle of the month, which is the time that the resident's social security checks may have run out for the month.

HSC will have donation boxes at all of our upcoming events as well as in the student reading room in the history department. Please help us and the seniors by bringing at least one non perishable food item to every HSC event you come to. Think of it as paying your way to have free food and refreshments at the event. If you are feeling extra giving please stop by the history department and drop of more items to the box in the student reading room.

If you have any questions please contact Erica E55@umbc.edu, Ryan roconno1@umbc.edu or Julie Rosenthal julier@umbc.edu.

Romans 8:31-39 (NIV)

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Reflection

There are so many things in the course of a day that seem to interfere with our relationship with God. There are even experiences and situations that can jolt us so much that we wonder if God loves us, or if we even love God anymore.This is the realm and reality that our lives live ‘within.’But this reality is not the full picture of what ‘real life’ is for those who are loved by the love that God has revealed and made real in Christ Jesus our Lord.God in this love made real through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus has given us everything we need to walk through the difficulties, hold strong in the ‘jolts’ of faith, and be faithful amidst all the life-interference.Nothing can separate us from this love and daily experience in this love…nothing.We have a life that is full of confidence and trust in the Lord, living in his strength, power and victory.

Responding to the Transmission

Today in prayer, let’s thank the Lord for His inseparable love for us in Christ Jesus.And out of that thankfulness let’s ask the Lord to fill us with His Spirit so we can experience more and more of this love in every detail, decision, and dilemma that we have today.If you are in the midst of something ‘jolting’ or hard, once again pray through this passage and declare this ‘real life/reality’ over your life for the day and week.Trust the Lord and walk closely in His love and answers to your prayer this week.

Take the R train

Billions of dollars have been raised and spent this campaign year mostly on negative TV advertising. With all the money being wasted on dross it is refreshing to find a piece of political promotion that clearly cost next to nothing to make! Check out this amazing effort from the dazzling Ron Tarpley…and share with us your favorite verse from the song!
