So every now and then, much to my delight some of you tell me that you wish you had more of a specific witnessing opportunity, or a service opportunity...
This Friday night you have the chance to do both. 7pm @ the Union we are hoping you will dig into your wallet, for the chance to build a relationship for the Gospel.
Here's the DEAL International students will be coming to have coffee and play games with us, the idea is that "National students" (YOU) would come intentionally looking to purchase a coffee for at least one international student. (Let this also serve to solidify in your mind that this is intentional outreach.) Sit down and spend some time talking and playing games. =)
We plan to do this regularly throughout the semester, so that you can build those relationships you make.
So I'm hoping you will pray and come, with all the other things you can/could do with your Friday night I'm hoping you will choose to invest in someone else's life for the Kingdom of God.
Sincearly, Your Fearless Leader, his Wife and Fam. =)
Hope you are recovering from a great time skiing over the weekend. I only wish they would have had this epic skiing ostrich at Caberfae: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2iiNVICfjg But I guess that is just another one of my pipe dreams. Now, ONTO THE EVENTS...
**TONIGHT** Dorm Dinner (6PM) -Come down to Earhart and om nom nom to your heart's content. Prayer and Praise (7PM) -A great time to worship with other believers. Check it out at the new Promise Place.
**WEDNESDAY** Q&A with Pastor Whipple (8PM at the international house, formerly the Salt House) -This is an awesome new event that is starting up this semester that will happen bi-monthly. This is pretty much going to be an open question and answer time with Pastor for about an hour. This will be an excellent opportunity to bring some friends from your classes that have questions or if you yourself have any sort of questions. Don't miss it!
**FRIDAY** WAM-Ice Skating at Tapawingo Park (6:45PM) -Come on down to ice skate at the park. If you need a ride ask around and I'm sure someone can give you a ride. Make sure to bring some cash to pay as well. Facebook plug: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=260571558704
Well that's about all I got. Have a great rest of the week and I'll see you tonight at Prayer & Praise! -Steve
Hello everyone and welcome to the Year 2010! School is starting soon but no grumbling! Yeah that's right,I went there.
I hope you all guys had an excellent Christmas break hanging out with friends and family. Lindsey and I made this awesome gingerbread house with zombies! Check out the pictures here: Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3
OK so we didn't really make that house, but that is pretty much the coolest gingerbread house ever. Period.
Anyway, onto the awesome events we have for the first week of the semester...
Tuesday
Dorm Dinner!!!
Back by popular demand. Meet at 6PM at Earhart dining court for a time of fellowship, food, and fun.
Prayer and Praise!!!
7PM at the Promise Place (603 Waldron.) A great time to worship with other students and hear how amazing and awesome God is.
Friday
Ski Trip 2010!!!
There is so much to say about this that you should definitely check out the facebook poster here. For those of you afraid of wasting the next 15 minutes on facebook, here are some quick details: Skiing in Michigan. Leaving Friday at 5:30PM. Vicroria in a hippie snow outfit. Ryan Cardinal speaking -Yes, you read right, Mister Cardinal. That's just a small snippet, seriously check out the event.
I also want to ask you guys to lift Salt and Light up in Prayer. There are so many different things to pray about but here are just a few:
Ski Trip would be a great time for fellowship as well as getting perhaps some unbelievers plugged into SL. Safety is also important.
Upcoming PODS bible study structure.
To continue to come before God asking for his help, guidance, and wisdom in witnessing and growing the students within the group and around Purdue.
That's about all I got. One final thing: If any student is interested in being in charge of the newsletter for this coming semester please let me know. It's not all that much work and it's more about delegating it to a variety of people and making sure it gets sent out each week.
Tuesday 6pm: Dorm Dinner! Meet in front of Earhart Hall to enjoy dinner with other Salt and Lighters who live in the dorms! :) NOTE: Dorm dinner is open to all but it's called "Dorm Dinner" for a reason. Unless you are invited by someone in the Dorm who is planning on swiping you in, you should plan on paying the $8 bucks for yo dinna. Capish?
Same Day 7pm: My personal favorite thing to look forward to: Prayer & Praise: Come pray and join in worship in the middle-ish of the week! It's a great time to realign your thinking back to God, and be encouraged by the testimony and praises of others. Thursday 12pm Crosswalk Prayer Meeting : We have a wonderful opportunity to pray with the leadership on the Crosswalk project. Every Thursday they meet at the Crosswalk property and pray! They would love if we joined them so come and pray for God to work in this great ministry.
W.A.M.WAM! Settlers of Catan (and other games) Game Night. 6:30pm Meet for carpooling @ the international house! So looking forward to this. It will be a joint event with Dave Nannery's ABF (good ol' Dave =). This will be a chance for us as a group to get to know other members of KSBC, Hosted by Allen and Carmen Gilbert, members of Koinonia. Their address is 3635 Sunnyview Drive. You can Google Maps it if to get directions. There will be people meeting at the Old Promise Place to give you a ride at 6:30 if you need a ride.
Encouragement Week! (Oh Yeah! Be encouraged!) Thought inspiring quote. "We are the richest people ever to walk the face of the earth. Period. Yet, most of us live as though there is nothing terribly wrong in the world. We attend our kid's soccer games, pursue our careers, and take beach vacations while 40 percent of the world's inhabitants struggle just to eat every day. And in our own backyards, the homeless, those residing in ghettos, and a wave of immigrants live in a world outside the economic and social mainstream of North America. We do not necessarily need to feel guilty about our wealth. But we do need to get up every morning with a deep sense that something is terribly wrong with the world and yearn and strive to do something about it. There is simply not enough yearning and striving going on." ~ Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert
Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying the lovely fall weather this week. Sorry the newsletter is being sent out late, it's been a pretty crazy week! This email is PACKED full of information, so read carefully!! WAM is Friday 11-6 ~ Wallyball!!! Meet in front of the co-rec (or main lobby area) at like 6:15ish. We will have 2 courts reserved for Wallyball, so if you get there late and don't see anyone, wander around the courts until you find us :). Make sure you invite your friends for this exciting time (It's not every day you can nail them in the head with a ball and remain friends). Maybe you're like Steve and are injured and unable to play or you're like Lindsey and scared of the ball... well guess what. . . after Wallyball we will be going to the Promise Place (613 Waldron) to watch a movie.. . maybe UP! (if it's out).
Sunday: As previously challenged by Mitch, try to be at ABF before 9:30 so that we can PROMPTLY start at 9:30. Since our time is short, we need to make sure we're no time to get things going.
Prayer times for this week are cancelled. HOWEVER, this does not mean don't pray!! Make sure you're praying for Salt & Light, fellow Christians, and non-believers.
Encouragement week is coming up!! Remember, the purpose of this is to encourage your fellow Salt & Lighters. It is more fun when this is done on a secret level. You are only required to pray for this person; however, some people go over the top and level secret messages and gifts to their partner in order to brighten their day. Just a helpful hint. . . if you send them an email, create a fake account to send it from!! If you are not signed up and want to participate, contact Lindsey Ackerman (lindsey.ackerman@gmail.com).
Fun facts : ---Andrew Bosserman's birthday was Tuesday 11-2 ----Dan Lehe's birthday was Wednesday 11-3 -----The average person has 100,000 hair on his/her head. Each hair grows about 5 inches (12.7 cm) every year. Just seeing if you're paying attention!!! :)
"For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off. . ." Psalm 37:28
Hello? Dorm people…are you there? Ok, now that I got your attention, I’ll assume you didn’t know about dorm dinners every Tuesday night at 6pm! It’s at Earhart this week. Meet outside the entrance to the food court. This is a great time to hang out at supper with other people in SLCF. Also, you never know what’s going to happen! My freshman year, one of the guys accidentally dropped a whole ice cream cone on my friend’s head! ☺
Prayer & Praise is at the Promise Place this Tuesday and every Tuesday at 7pm. It’s a great time to refocus in the middle of the week and hear Victoria try to sing along!
W.A.M. this week is our annual HAYRIDE!!! @ the Lehe’s. Meet at the Light House @ 6:30pm this Friday. This is a great opportunity to bring your friends to learn about Christ and to have a good ole’ time with some Christians. We’re planning (hopefully) to have a tug-of-war contest and a pumpkin carving contest. We’ll provide transportation but if you want to drive yourself, e-mail me jareandbecc@yahoo.com for directions!
Missions Conference this weekend! Dr. Tim Sisk, who is Chair and Professor of World Missions and Evangelism at Moody Bible Institute, will be giving 2 forum sessions on Saturday night at the church. It starts at 5pm and there will be supper in between the forums. I strongly urge everyone to come. All Christians should somehow be involved in missions and this will be a great way to learn more about what’s going on in World Missions! Since supper is provided, please contact Jared jareandbecc@gmail.com by tomorrow if you want to go.
Live in a dorm and never have friends to go eat with, Live in an apartment and don't have money to buy groceries or motivation to make dinner.... Here's the solution to all these problems: DORM DINNER!!!!
That's right, Show up by the Amelia Earheart plack @ Earheart Dining Hall at 6 pm for awesome fellowship and awesome food. If you don't have a meal plan, maybe one of your fellow Salt and Lighters who does will be willing to swipe you in :)
Prayer & Praise
If you haven’t been yet… Come for an hour of worshipping our Lord & hearing testimonies of how He is working in the lives of fellow Salt & Lighters. This is a time just to devote to setting or minds on Christ during a busy school week. It's at 7 o'clock at the Promise Place (613(ish) Waldron Street).
Friday 9.25
