Hope House has been an abundance of laughter, a surplus of social distancing struggles, and a bounty of gratitude since we have arrived back. From the start of our online house meeting on January 14th, to the second all of us walked back into our second home on January 17th, the energy has been building. It has been almost a month since we have...

No snow? No problem. On Saturday December 12, Snowball was held throughout the Brentwood campus. Snowball was yet another event that required adjustments due to Covid-19, but it was still quite the night to remember.
