Pastor, those you serve with the gospel are sisters and brothers who share, and much of that is with you. Teacher, the Lord’s gifts for time and for eternity are generously exchanged throughout the year, and you benefit from that. Yet summer quarter students are blessed within a different sort of fellowship. Here you will spend time with sisters and brothers whom Jesus has called to do the same kind of ministry: parish pastors with other parish pastors; teachers and professors with other teachers and professors; staff ministers with staff ministers; missionaries with missionaries. And it’s not merely for a day or two as at a seminar or conference. Summer quarter fellowship is three whole weeks or, at the very least, one or two whole weeks.
