Dinner & Music

Hey everybody,
Hope you are having a good day. The beautiful spring weather has temporarily fled, but the good news is there is 0% chance or rain tonight, which is good because we are planning on meeting at the campus house tonight at 7pm to walk downtown to one of the restaurants to eat dinner together. We'll decide which one based on what everyone is in the mood for tonight. Maybe Gillie's, Souvlaki's, Mike's Grill, Backstreets...anything downtown is in the running.

Afterward we will have karaoke and games available at the campus house. We've never done karaoke here before, so I'm looking forward to seeing (or hearing) how that goes. Should be a lot of fun. Don't worry, we won't make you sing if you don't want to. But I know we already have some volunteers who do plan on singing for us.

Feel free to bring your friends.

Hope you can join us tonight -- 7pm at the campus house.

Steve

Free Pasta Dinner & Oasis

Welcome back to Blacksburg! Hope your Spring Break was great, and your first couple days back in classes are going just as well.

Here at CCVT we are getting back in the swing of things with a free Pasta Dinner Wednesday night before Oasis Bible Study. The dinner starts at 6:30pm. Oasis will start at 7:30pm as usual.

The dinner comes complete with home cooked pasta, breadsticks, shrimp scampi, drinks and dessert! It'll be a good chance to catch up with everybody on what they did over break, and get to know some new people, too. If you haven't been coming to CCVT recently, now would be a great time to start. Please come join us for dinner on us, and give us a chance to introduce ourselves.

It's all going down at CCVT's campus house, as usual. If you need directions to our campus house, just look for them in the side bar to the right.

All of us at CCVT are really looking forward to seeing you at Oasis, and we really hope you can join us for some great food, too, so I hope to see you there.

And feel free to bring some friends with you.

Don't forget: Pasta Dinner at 6:30pm, Oasis Bible Study at 7:30pm (Wednesday, March 17)

Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday night,
Steve Wilkin
Campus Minister

What is Faith?

Is it an irrational leap that goes against the force of the facts? Or is it a firm conviction which was actually created by the force of the facts?

If one does not have faith, is it simply because there is insufficient evidence to lead them to that conclusion? Or could it be that there are reasons why some people don't want to believe, and would rather not believe?

We will be discussing this and more at Oasis tonight. I hope you can join us, whether you are here every week or if this would be your first time.

7:30pm at the campus house, same as always.

Hope to see you there.
Steve
