On April 14th-16th, Dallas CARP hosted a three day workshop to dive deeper into the Divine Principle, as well as to bond together with fellow CARP students. The workshop included fun and energetic activities, insightful Divine Principle lectures, deep discussion, and meaningful reflection. This was the first workshop hosted by Dallas CARP in this school year, and provided an opportunity for CARP students to bond and create deeper relationships.
Here are some testimonies from participants:
“I realized that true joy can still exist even in a world full of sin, and also that I have been taking moments of true joy and comfort for granted.”
- Dallas College student, first time workshop participant
”My goal is to become a great example/role model for the people around me. I want to strengthen my relationship with God so that I can be an “Abel figure” to someone else.”
- University of Texas, Arlington (UTA) CARP officer
“My most meaningful experiences happened in the discussions after the lectures because getting others’ perspectives on what we learned helped me understand the information in the Divine Principle better and how it applies to our lives.”
- Dallas College student, first time workshop participant
“Integrity is the most important virtue to me, so when I saw me being my most genuine self, I knew this was a place I could safely do that. Taking the initiative to begin relationships is something that has been dormant in me for quite some time. Although a little rough, I was able to make some friends and build some “foundations of substance” in a sense.”
