Reminder and IMPORTANT note!

Posted by on Oct 6, 2009 in Meetings, Missions | 0 comments

Just wanted to remind for tomorrow night and to let you know about something we are doing. I’m guessing you all have been getting E-mails about the upcoming Homeless Outreach Fair that some of our classmates are putting together. Our Christian Fellowship was specifically asked to participate in this outreach, and since part of our calling is to contribute to needy, we were thinking of doing a mini-offering-like thing at tomorrow’s meeting. If you are interested in giving to this cause, please bring your spare change or a couple of...

Feel free to highlight, expand upon, or share a story in relationship to one or several points. “Life is going to get...

Summer reading idea

The Med Center group chose to discuss the theological concepts in Wm. Paul Young’s book “The Shack” last year in their weekly Bible study, but it took Susan and I until July to catch up with them. It seems that we’re latecomers to this New York Times bestseller, which now has over 7 million copies in print. If you haven’t already, pick up a copy from a fellow student or get one online and read it this summer, sort through the issues and feelings it raises, then consider passing it on to someone else who might...
