Registrations are open! Go here to learn more and join us: Rise Up & Run Virtual 5K run and walk
Last year was amazing and we are ready to run/walk/crawl/stumble/roll and pray with you again. With brand new swag for 2021… and a new song of gratitude to sing.
“Call us back… Let us run.” is taken from a prayer of St. Augustine:
"You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You.
Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness.
Let us love. Let us run."
Race date is July 22nd, 2020 (Feast of St. Mary Magdalene) But because it is a virtual run, you can participate on your time table.
During the heaviest times of life, we look to the Transfiguration (Matt. 7:17). The disciples fell terrified before Jesus. And Jesus said:
“Rise, and do not be afraid.” …. “And when they lifted their eyes, they saw only Jesus.”
Those are the words which move us to courage…
I shall not be afraid of what is evil.
I shall not be afraid of what is beautiful.
I shall not be afraid of sickness… or healing.
I shall not be afraid of the magnitude of the calling God has placed upon my life... or of my littleness, which seems insufficient for that call.
I shall see Jesus alone… and I will RISE UP AND RUN to Him.
May our lives be a testimony of praise, and this run a small act of courage in the storm. It began as a seed planted through tears; a note of defiance against sorrow and quarantine. But has grown into a cry of victory.
We raise the standard of HOPE. He has won. Alleluia! Let us run to Him.
