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)

A Very Special Oasis This Week

You might want to make an extra effort to come to Oasis this week. For one thing, it will be our last Oasis until this fall. We do not meet during exams. (Although we are going to have a Summer Bible Study, it won't be Oasis.)

But more than that, we are going to have a special time in the service for our graduates who are not only graduating but also moving away from us. At CCVT we have a long standing tradition of sending off our graduates at our last Oasis of the semester by thanking them for some of the many ways they have blessed us, hearing some advice they share with us based on their years of experience at VT and CCVT, presenting them with a gift from CCVT, and most importantly, praying God's blessing on them as they enter the next phase of their lives. Many of you will remember doing this for Jodi just this past December, or for others at the end of other semesters.

Please join us to send our graduates off with our collective prayers of blessing, and to share in this encouraging time of remembering some of the happy memories we have shared together and thanking God for the way he has blessed us through our friends who are graduating and leaving us for the next stage in their lives. Don't miss this special time of thanksgiving and celebration.

Thanks.
Steve
