Student Stories: Ignis Update
Last year we shared a story about a student prayer group called Ignis that was started by a recent graduate. Here is a reflection written by a few of the group members on how they have been creating community during the coronavirus pandemic.
In these strange and trying times, community can be hard to come by. Ignis has been working to provide Hope College students with an intentional Catholic community centered on prayer. Since being back on campus, the group has been meeting in-person on Monday evenings to pray with and for one another. While these meetings logistically look different than in previous semesters, the opportunity to meet and pray in-person has been a blessing for the members of this community. Students have also been spending time together on the weekends, enjoying fellowship, faith, food, reflection, and more. God has been working in the Ignis community to bring students closer to Him and to each other. These relationships are needed now more than ever, and the fruit from these relationships has been carrying the members of Ignis through both the hills and valleys of the semester.
