A Special Christmas Oasis/Party

With the semester rapidly coming to a close I won't have many opportunities to say "Merry Christmas" to all of you, so let me say it now -- Merry Christmas!

This Wednesday will be our last Oasis of the semester (we don't meet during exams) and since you all will be busy with exams the rest of the time you are in town, we are taking the opportunity to gift wrap our final Oasis of 2011 and a CCVT Christmas Party all into one this Wednesday night! The Oasis part will be abbreviated and lead into our Christmas party for which we have some fun Christmas games and yummy Christmas food planned, among other Christmasy things. Stacey is making some Christmas deserts, but if you have time to make some more to share, or even just buy some ready made Christmas snacks to bring, that would be great. Otherwise, just bring your Christmas spirited self and come celebrate the birth of our Savior with some of your brothers and sisters in Christ.

This special Christmas Oasis/Party will begin at 7:15pm at CCVT's campus house.

Hope to see you there.
Steve

ACC Championship Football Party

The score was an ugly 23-3 last time Clemson and VT met, but our Hokies hung in there, didn't give up, worked hard to improve, and kept winning games. So now they have a second chance to beat Clemson and win the ACC Championship! Pretty cool story line. This is part of what makes collegiate sports so much fun.

What might be even more fun would be to go see the game in person in Charlotte, but since most of us will not be able to do that, we thought it would be the next best thing to watch it together with friends on the big screen in the campus house.

So Saturday night we are having a Football Party. Besides the game, we will have football food to share. If you would like to bring some traditional football fare to share, please do. If cooking is not your thing, maybe just bring a 2-liter of soda or bag of chips or something. Can't make it to the store in time? Don't worry about it, just bring yourself, and bring a friend if you want to.

The game starts at 8pm, so feel free to arrive a few minutes before that.

Let's recap: 8pm Saturday, Dec. 3, at CCVT's campus house to watch VT redeem itself against Clemson.

Hope you can join us.
