(By Garam Yun) As a recent undergraduate, I’ve often felt a yearning to belong in a close-knit community. I miss the familial manner in which I went about daily life back at campus, often meeting up with friends for a quick bite in between classes and reconvening with my roommates once a week to share our weekly highlights. Since moving back home and entering what most people title post-college life, aka ”the real world,” I’ve gravitated toward my Christian roots and searched to quench my desire for companionship within a body of believers at Calvary Vision Church (CVC) in Blue Bell, PA.
Like most other life lessons, I’ve discovered the value of authentic charity without planning for it. This real commitment to others— I’ve learned from the dedicated leadership of my pastors and fellow church and community members. While I had my own intentions of attending my church to engage in meaningful friendship, I received another gift of meeting inspirational individuals equipped with a real sense of caring for the needs of others.
