Christ’s Church at Virginia Tech campus ministry

is a non-denominational Christian community of students who:

--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)

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." -- Isaiah 40:8

Camping this Weekend

CCVT is planning a camping trip for this Saturday night, April 10, and you are invited to come with us. The rain is forecast to stop late tonight, and things will dry out Friday and Saturday. The forecast looks good for camping Saturday night -- 0% chance of rain.

The campsite we have in mind (Horseshoe Hollow) is only about 20 minutes away and is FREE. We will be meeting at the campus house at 4:45pm Saturday to carpool to the site. We will be heading back to campus early enough Sunday morning for everyone to make it to church.

We have plenty of cars going so we have plenty of extra seats. Come join us, and bring some friends. Just make sure you have enough tents and sleeping bags for yourselves, that's the only thing we don't have a lot of extras of. You can rent some at very reasonable prices from VT's Venture Out office.

We will have everything we need for a campfire, and to make some delicious hot dogs and smores together! However, please eat some supper before meeting at the campus house because the food at the camp is intended to be more like a big snack than a full meal. Of course, you can bring some more food along for yourself, or to share, if you want.

Also, this is a Bring Your Own Breakfast event. So pack some pop tarts or granola bars or something to eat for breakfast in the morning.

Here are some suggestions of other things to pack:
besides tents and sleeping bags,
sleeping pad
pillow
flashlight
water bottle full of water
pocket knife
warm clothes, including coats for cold weather at night time
maybe some insect repellant, a camping lantern, and other camping equipment you might have.

Hope you can join us!

Remember, meet at the campus house between 4:30 and 4:45pm, Saturday.
