We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow

Christ’s Church at Virginia Tech campus ministry

--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

Amazing Corn Maze and more

Make plans now to join us this Friday night for an a-maze-ing adventure through a huge maze of corn, after dark. (Please pardon my corn-y joke. Oh, wait, I did it again. I just can't stop myself.)

OK, enough with the bad puns. Here's the scoop:
We're meeting at the campus house at 6pm to carpool to the corn maze which is part of a big annual "Pumpkin Festival" at Sinkland Farms about a 20 minute drive from here. By the time we enter the maze it will be dark, making it a significant challenge to find your way out. Believe me, this isn't just a maze for little kiddies. It's big and complex.

The cost is $6, but if you bring your student ID, assuming we have at least 10 people, you will get a $1 discount.

Be sure to bring a flashlight, and please bring an extra, if you have one, to share with someone else who might not have one.

And ladies, please leave the high heels at home. Remember, this is a corn field we will be walking in, so it's pretty bumpy from the furrows the plow has made, and the corn stalk stumps that are still sticking up where the corn has been cut down, etc. So flip-flops and sandals are a bad idea, too. Let's say tennis shoes are a minimum, and boots would be even better.

Finally, bring a little extra money in case we get some pizza or something like that on our way home afterward. Maybe just appetizers or dessert or something. We'll see.

So to recap:
6pm at the campus house (directions on the right side of your screen)
$6, plus maybe more for food
student ID
flashlights
appropriate footwear

Hope you can join us. And bring a friend!

It's Time to Go Bananas

Come go bananas with us this Friday night at 7pm at the campus house. It's going to be "Build your own Banana Split night" where you get to put together whatever combination of ice cream flavors, and toppings you want on your split banana. Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry? Hot fudge, or caramel? Whipped cream with a cherry on top? What'll you have? Is your mouth starting to water?

We also have some fun games planned, so make plans now to join us Friday night, and invite some friends to come hang out with us, enjoy some delicious food, and have some laughs and a lot of fun.

Hope to see you then.

Steve

Special Guest Speaker this Sunday

Even though it is Fall Break and a lot of you are going home for the weekend, we are still having Oasis this Sunday for those of you who will still be in town. In fact, it is going to be an extra special Oasis because we are having a special guest speaker this Sunday!

All the way from Indiana our special guest speaker, Dr. Ken Goble, is coming to share his wealth of knowledge and insight with us. He has spent most of his career as a professor of Psychology at Cincinnati Christian University, and Atlanta Christian College, and for most of those years has also done marital counseling part-time as a licensed professional counselor along with his wife, Moni. (They find that this team approach is ideal for marriage counseling.)

We are very blessed to have such a highly qualified guest speaker. There is one particular reason we are able to have him speak: he also happens to be Stacey's dad, and my father-in-law. It always helps to have connections, doesn't it?

I regret that the timing of Dr. Goble's visit turns out to be while so many of you will be out of town, but we'll just have to make the best of it we can. So for those of you still in town, don't miss this opportunity!

Hope to see you 11am Sunday at the campus house, same as usual.

Steve
