In just six weeks, the UPSem community will gather for Sprunt Lectures 2025! Dr. Ruben Arjona shares a sneak peek in this quick video—take three minutes to see why you won’t want to miss it.

From May 5–7 in RVA, get ready to reconnect with alumni, faculty, pastors, theologians, and friends who love Union. Miguel De La Torre will challenge and inspire as this year’s lecturer. David LaMotte will be on campus and in concert. Rev. Mamie Broadhurst will guide us in worship. We’ll celebrate incredible leaders like Angela Sims, Brian Blount, Megan Argabrite, and Amanda Montague. Plus, you’ll join breakout groups, worship in a reUnion choir, move your body with fellow walkers and yogis, and hear powerful first-person stories live on stage.

As spring begins, there’s no better time to visit Yaupon Place—a space where community, wellness, and environmental justice come together in Northside Richmond. Rooted in Union Presbyterian Seminary’s history of recreational ministry, this park fosters story-sharing, ecological restoration, and connection across divides of race, age, and background.

Through partnerships with Shalom Farms and other local organizations, Yaupon Place continues to be a hub for collaboration and resilience. This season of renewal is a reminder of our commitment to caring for the land, honoring its Indigenous and ecological history, and restoring relationships—with each other, the Earth, and the Spirit.

Learn more about Yaupon Place at the link in bio.
