Description
"Faith is a Trampoline"In January 2006, the Woodruffs seemed to have it all—a happy marriage and four beautiful children. Lee was a public relations executive and Bob had just been named co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight. Then, while Bob was embedded with the military in Iraq, an improvised explosive device went off near the tank he was riding in. He and his cameraman were hit, and Bob suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed him.Bob and Lee's lives came together, were blown apart, and then were miraculously put together again— and they persevered, with grit but also with humor, through intense trauma and fear.Colgate University is an independent liberal arts institution that had its genesis in the American Protestant tradition. We carry this heritage forward in the work and worship of University Church, with gratitude for our founders, who saw no discrepancy between a life of faith and the pursuit of truth and learning. University Church strives to be a diverse Christian community of worship, sacrament, service, prayers, and intellectual engagement. All are welcome!Livestream is available here.
