We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow

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

Get in on the Big Event

OK, everybody, listen up. Ross has something to say: 

Hello everyone, 
Virginia Tech's annual Big Event is happening on Saturday, March 31 and CCVT is going to be there. If you don't already know, the Big Event is a day of service where Virginia Tech students volunteer throughout the surrounding community. We could be doing anything from helping someone clean their house to doing yard work for a local church. It's a great opportunity to spend time with friends while giving back to the community that helps make this school so amazing. If that doesn't excite you, then you probably should have gone to UVA. No experience is necessary, just willing participants. Here is more information on the big event http://www.vtbigevent.org 

If you would like to participate, let me know so I can add you to our team. My email address is ross1@vt.edu. 

Thanks, 
Ross 
Ut Prosim 
Isaiah 6:8


Thanks for rounding us up, Ross. OK now everybody, let's do this thing. Don't procrastinate. Shoot Ross an email to let him know you're in.
Thanks.

Friday Night Food and Game Show

Hey everybody, have we got a treat for you this weekend! Actually, two treats. First, we are going out to eat at the best new restaurant in town, the Cookout. If you aren't familiar with the Cookout, this is a chain out of North Carolina that specializes in southern style food like BBQ sandwiches, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, really good onion rings, and just about every flavor milkshake you could ever want. But you have to taste it to believe how superior it is to the usual fast food chains. I can't just describe it to you. But as they say in their slogan, it's "cooked outdoors style".

Our second treat for you is, after we eat we're going to play some game shows back at the campus house. No, I didn't say we are going to watch some game shows. I said we are going to play some game shows. Ross, Linda, and Sarah are creating some game show magic for us and it's going to be special. I can't wait.

Please meet at the campus house at 5:30pm so we can carpool over to the Cookout together. If you are driving, please come to the campus house first so you can offer a ride to somebody who doesn't have a car. 

So grab a friend and come join us 5:30pm Friday night for some great food and game show fun.

Hope you can make it.

Super Bowl Party

Hey everybody,
Here's the details on the Super Bowl party this coming Sunday. I hope you can join us. 

We are going to watch the game on our big screen at the campus house. You are welcome to come anytime after 6pm. (The best information I can find says kickoff will be at 6:30pm.)

Of course, we will have some delicious football food to enjoy during the game. If you would like to bring something to share, feel free. We would be happy to help you eat it. But don't feel like you have to bring anything to come. We've already got people bringing some BBQ, bread, strawberries and apples with fruit dip, rice crispies (I think that meant rice crispy treats, but don't sue me if I turn out to be wrong), and cupcakes, so you might just want to bring something other than those. We have some people bringing other stuff too, but they are going to surprise us with what.

Also, please invite your friends. This is not just for CCVT regulars. Everyone is welcome.

Whether you are coming to watch the game, the commercials, or just for the food and friends, we look forward to seeing you.

See you sometime after 6pm Sunday at the campus house. If you need directions, just look on the right side of the screen.

Thanks.
Steve
