Arriving, and the ache of a new place

A smaller campus in 6th arrondissement of Paris can feel like everyone already found their people before you arrived, and you are still looking. That ache is not weakness and it is not rare. Nearly everyone around you feels some version of it, and one of the oldest, quietest answers to it is a room full of people who will learn your name, pray for your week, and save you a seat.

There is a church about a 5-minute walk from campus. You could be there this Sunday, and you would not have to walk in alone. If it helps, start with when you feel lonely at college, how to find Christian friends, or what a first Sunday is actually like.

And you do not have to wait to be found. The other believers are already here, scattered and unseen. The Campus Gathering shows you how to find them, or begin one yourself, because two or three who gather in his name are already the church on this campus, and the most beautiful doorway to Christ a searching student ever walks through.

You are more than your transcript

You have a few years here to decide what you will do. Underneath that, quieter and impossible to put on a schedule, is the question of who you are becoming while you do it.

It is not a new question. Students have carried it through 6th arrondissement of Paris since 1816. This is the oldest ache there is, and a degree, however good, was never built to fill it. Long before you had a transcript, a major, or a single line of achievement to your name, you were already known and already loved. That is the heart of what Christians mean by the Living Bread: a belonging and a life that do not run out when the grades come in, when the offer falls through, or when a semester in 6th arrondissement of Paris quietly breaks you. Jesus offered himself to hungry people as exactly that, the bread that satisfies the hunger underneath the hunger, the one no achievement has ever reached.

If that stirs something in you, you can start with who Jesus actually is, or sit for a while with what God wants you to do with your life. There is no hurry, and no test at the end of it.

Where you are, and who is already near

Académie des beaux-arts has stood in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France since 1816. Generation after generation of students has arrived here in the years since, hauling boxes into a strange room, learning a new set of streets, and carrying the same quiet questions underneath the timetable and the reading list. You are only the newest of a very long line.

And you are not without a local family here. The congregations nearest campus are real, named places: Église Saint-Germain des Prés about 0.3 miles away; Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois about 0.3 miles away; and Salle du Royaume des Témoins de Jéhovah about 0.3 miles away. These are not abstractions on a map. They are ordinary rooms full of people who would learn your name, pray for your week, and save you a seat, a short way from where you sleep. 14 of them sit close enough to walk to.
