Read a Lenten Reflection

Read a Lenten Reflection

By Aimee WIttman
Mothers Club Pastoral Chair

As our busy and full days hum along and the semester continues to progress, I am noticing a theme in many of my conversations right now with other SLUH Moms. The throughline in many of these conversations is “Where has the time gone?” My son, Luke, is a sophomore and I am keenly aware of how quickly his SLUH journey is passing.

Someone once shared with me an adage about parenthood that has stuck with me: “The days are long and the years are short.” Isn’t this so true? I find myself reflecting on how this describes so many aspects of my life.

As we welcome the upcoming season of Lent I have been pondering my own intentions for these 40 days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. My heart keeps coming back to the concept of a “both/and” approach to this year’s Lenten journey. In what ways am I called to both let go and lean in?

I notice how many moments, which are overflowing with graces and gifts, pass by in a blur. Sometimes that blur is created externally and sometimes I am its architect, creating that very urgency and busy-ness myself. I can be so focused on getting tasks on my “to-do” list completed that I may miss opportunities “to be” with my children, spouse and God. Am I paying attention to the abundance of gifts and graces that God has so generously given to my life? Am I quiet and still enough to hear the stirrings of the Holy Spirit in my heart and to know who I am called to continue to become?

What does both/and look like for me this Lent? I think it could look like experimenting with a fast from some of the urgency and busy-ness that often define my days. I also desire for it to look like more moments of slowing down, listening with an open, curious and loving heart, and being truly present.

This Lent I want to commit to paying attention and offering more gratitude for the gifts and graces of my spouse, my children, my friends and family, and for opportunities to be of service to the needs and hopes of our collective communities. I am grateful to God for the gift and the invitation of these 40 days.

Mothers Club President's message

Dear SLUH Family,

We have turned another page on the calendar as we head into March!

Mother/Son Trivia is on Saturday, March 4th. It will be a fun 80’s movie-themed evening. Don’t feel that you have to dress up or decorate your table - the evening is all about being together.

The Senior Moms have started their celebrations with their sons. Thank you to Amanda Rammacher, Stephanie Skube and Janet Slusser for organizing Mom/Son Dance Lessons. A good time was had by all! Next up is a fun-filled evening at Mom Prom. The registration deadline is Sunday, March 12. Senior moms and sons get dressed up, enjoy a lovely dinner followed by dancing in the Commons. I’m looking forward to this memorable event!

March is also all about preparations for the CASHBAH Dinner Auction. There has been so much activity in the Mothers Club area - the energy is contagious. It takes an army of volunteers to pull off such an amazing event. If you haven’t volunteered or donated yet, there is still time. You can find information HERE.

If there is anything we can help you with, please contact me at moms@sluh.org.

Senior parents, please find all the details for senior events on the Senior webpage.

Finally, please check out the Mothers Club website for any changes to upcoming events and the Call to Serve for next year. Please consider serving on the Mothers Club Board or as a Class Representative. We also need volunteers for all of our events. It’s such a great way to meet other moms and give back to our SLUH community.

Warmest regards,

Andrea Brockmann
Mothers Club President 2022-23

Call To Serve

Planning is underway for the 2023-2024 school year, which includes forming a new Mothers Club Board. Please consider volunteering as a Board member or as a Class Representative. Please click HERE for descriptions and HERE to volunteer.

Please note that in our efforts to offer events and opportunities that our parent community continues to support, we have decided not to hold the Fall Social event in 2023. While this was a wonderful event attended by so many over the years, we have decided to focus on all of the many opportunities that are resonating with our parents.
