MAY 4, 2020

Dear {first},

Last week we heard the tragic news of Dr. Lorna Breen’s death. Lorna was part of the Redeemer community, and her death hit us hard. It also brought to light the enormous toll that fighting on the front lines has had on healthcare workers. In response, we will pray for (and with) healthcare workers across the city tonight at 8:30pm. Please join us.

In addition to praying, and in partnership with Redeemer Counseling Services, we are offering a free counseling initiative for healthcare workers on Monday, May 18 at 8pm. If you are a healthcare worker, please sign up for this free event. More details below. 

In other news, we’re excited to announce that we will be opening up Gotham applications for a second round. COVID-19 has thrown off all our timelines, so we want to ensure everyone can get their applications in for the class of 2021. More below. Also, we hosted our first ever Virtual Gotham Info Session last month, and it went off without a hitch. If you weren’t able to join us, you can watch it online here. 

Hope to see you tonight!

Sincerely,

Cory Maxwell-Coghlan
Director, Center for Faith & Work
