--believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God

--believe the Bible is the infallible Word of the one and only true God, and therefore embrace it as our first & final authority for faith & practice as it contains all the truth needed for salvation and living in Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12)

--strive to put our faith in action, to keep growing in our knowledge and love for God, and to transform our world by living as Jesus lived. (James 2:14-26, Colossians 1:9-12, Romans 12:1-2)

Lost & Loving It

Normally lost and loving it don't go together, but this Friday night you might find that they do for you, for a little while, because we are going to go get lost in an amazing maze cut out of a corn field, and it's a little bit of a challenge to find your way out considering you will be doing it in the dark. (You do get to use a flashlight, though.)

The farm is only about 15 minutes from campus and it only costs $6, or $5 if you bring your student ID.

It's a lot of fun, so bring your flashlight and student ID and meet us at the campus house at 6pm Friday. And be sure to wear some boots or something like that. After all, this is a cornfield we're talking about. Corn does grow in dirt, you know, so your shoes will get some dirt on them, and it is a little bumpy from where the plows have been, and the corn stalks on the ground and stuff. It all adds to the effect and makes it more fun. Can you tell I've been there before?

Anyway, bring some friends with you, and if you have any extra flashlights to share, bring those, too, please.

Don't forget: 6pm Friday at CCVT's campus house -- we'll carpool from there.

Hope you can make it.

If you need directions to our campus house, probably the best way to get them is to type "413 West Clay St., Blacksburg, VA" into Google maps. You'll see that our campus house is only about a block away from most of the dorms on campus, over by the Washington Street tennis courts. It's much closer than most of your classes!

If you are walking from on campus, do this: When you are standing on Washington Street between O'Shaughnessy (O'Shag) Hall and Johnson Hall you are only one short block away. Cross to the other side of the street and take the sidewalk up the hill towards VT's Cranwell International Center. (You will see a sign for Cranwell on Washington St.) VT's Tennis Courts will be on your right. As you are walking up the hill veer to your left off of the sidewalk and walk up the grassy hill. (Veer left before you get to the chain link fence with all the vines growing on it. We are on the other side of that fence.) You will see the campus house facing you. It's a two story red brick house with a big front porch and a banner on the balcony railing that says "Christ's Church @ VT Campus Ministry" -- so you'll know you found the right place once you get here! It's really pretty simple, but feel free to call me if you have any trouble: 540-552-8292.
