Avoiding Burnout
For the sake of avoiding burnout before the new atrium year begins, our volunteer team is finally taking a well-earned break. This includes Monday @ Montpelier posts!

…amazingly, in some of the hardest of situations, they can amplify the tiniest bit of beauty so that it fills their vision and permeates the world around them. They have these childlike goggles that only fit them, and if we are going to see what they see, we have to be near them, listen to them, let them show us what they are witnessing. This requires a lot of stillness, quiet, humility, and trust on the part of the adult. But boy can the results be stunning.

“the Mustard Seed, the Yeast, and the Growing Seed speak of the Kingdom in terms of something very small, so small that it probably escapes our notice. And yet it grows and changes into something very new and very great…Indeed, so great is this growth and transformation in living things that we cannot grasp it during its process of unfolding; it captures our attention when it is already complete in some sense. And this inspires awe.”

We are officially on summer break at the Montpelier Atrium, but preparations for the 2024-2025 year are in full swing. Highlights from 2023-2024 include serving over 15 children, raising over $1700, and completing several big projects, such as a topographical Jerusalem map and the Cenacle. This summer, we’re focusing on organizing, planning, and completing materials already in process. As we continue to grow into the next year, we will be seeking more volunteers, creating new processes of communication and child safety.
As ever, we rely on generous donations from supporters to make Montpelier Atrium possible, and our work this summer is no exception. If you are able to give, our GoFundMe is still active! Thank you for your support.
