VT vs. ECU ice hockey Friday night

For our event this weekend we thought we would venture out away from the campus house for a change and do something new and different. We are going to the VT vs. ECU (East Carolina University) ice hockey game in Roanoke!

Tickets are FREE with a valid Hokie Passport, and only $5 for all others.

Please meet at our campus house at 6pm Friday to carpool to the Roanoke Civic Center. We will head out about 6:10pm or something like that. If you would be willing to help drive some of us up there, please make sure you have enough gas to make it up and back before you come to the campus house, so our caravan won't have to make an extra stop at a gas station on the way.

Also, while we are up in Roanoke we thought it would be fun to go to one of the restaurants up there that we don't have in the New River Valley. So after the game we'll stop by one of those and enjoy some appetizers, dessert, or whatever, so bring some cash, a credit card, or something to pay for your food with, because I don't think they will accept Hokie Passport up there. (I know, feels like you are leaving the country, right?)

Oh, and don't forget to get decked out in you Hokie apparel to help cheer on our Hokie hockey team against the East Carolina Pirates! This is going to be so much fun.

Whether you've been to CCVT before, or this would be your first time, you are more than welcome to join us, and feel free to bring a friend.

I said we would meet at our campus house to carpool to Roanoke. By "campus house" I mean the big old house we own, right on the edge of campus just one block from Lee, O'Shag, or Miles Hall. For most of you, it's even closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions just look on the top right side of your screen.

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

Hope to see you there -- 6pm Friday.

78 and Sunny -- Cookout Anyone?

Friday's forecast is calling for a high of 78 and 0% chance of rain. Pretty awesome weather for a cookout. And it just so happens that is exactly what we have planned for Friday!

6pm is when we will get things kicked off. We will have the volleyball net set up for those who want to volley, but if you'd rather just hang out and talk, there are always some people to do that with, too.

We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, and for those who prefer, vegetarian burgers, and ice cream for dessert.

Whether you've been to CCVT before, or this would be your first time, you are more than welcome to join us, and feel free to bring a friend.

This will be at our campus house, like most of our events. By "campus house" we mean the big old house we own, right on the edge of campus just one block from Lee, O'Shag, or Miles Hall. For most of you, it's even closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions just look on the top right side of your screen.

Hope to see you there -- 6pm Friday.

VT vs. Pittsburgh Football Party

Saturday's game against soon to be ACC foe, Pittsburgh, will kickoff at noon, but assuming you don't have tickets to watch it live, you can only watch it on ESPNU -- not ESPN, not ESPN2, not even ESPN3. Do you have ESPNU? If not, don't despair, we do at Christ's Church at VT and you are invited to watch the game with us on our big screen.

Besides the game, we are also going to have some delicious "football food" to share -- "walking tacos", desserts, and drinks.

Like I said, kickoff is at noon, but feel free to arrive a few minutes early if you don't want to miss a single play. You're welcome to bring a friend or two along, too.

All this is going down at our "campus house". By "campus house" we mean the big old house we own, right on the edge of campus just one block from Lee, O'Shag, or Miles Hall. For most of you, it's even closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions just look on the top right side of your screen.

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

Whether this will be your first time here, or you've been to CCVT before, we really hope you can make it.

Let's recap: 12 noon Saturday, Sept. 15, at CCVT's campus house to watch VT beat Pittsburgh.

Hope you can join us.

Squirrel Day! Friday 7pm

The long awaited day has finally arrived! The day the unusual, remarkable story behind the mysterious name of this event will be revealed.

There will be several creative elements at this event in memory of our fallen comrade of the tree tops as we mark the one year anniversary of a very memorable night in the history of Christ's Church at VT. Plans include a squirrel scavenger hunt along the lines of the TV show Amazing Race.

There will also be other games, and desserts and drinks, and it all starts at our campus house just one block from Lee, O'Shag, or Miles Hall.

For a map & simple directions, just look on the right side of your screen.

Come have some fun with us and make some new friends. Feel free to bring a couple of the friends you already have with you, if you want.

It all starts at 7pm Friday (Sept. 7).

Hope you can make it.

What I Love about Virginia Tech

I love Virginia Tech. There are so many great things about this school -- the great school spirit, the heart for service (ut prosim), the perennially top notch football program, the beautiful campus, excellence in academics, and the list just keeps going on and on. But even with all of those attributes, sometimes for a Christian student who is really committed to living a life that pleases God, the campus can be a spiritually dry and arid place to be. It's a real challenge to stay focused on God with so many things competing for our allegiance.

That's why Christ's Church at VT (CCVT) has Oasis -- it's a place to come and be refreshed by God's living water. God knows that in order for us to keep him at the center of our lives, we all need to spend time with other believers often -- to learn God's ways and to enjoy the support of good friends. Oasis delivers this through meaningful Bible Study, group discussion, sharing with friends, and prayer. It's our main weekly meeting and happens at our campus house every Wednesday night at 7:15.

Tonight is only our second Oasis of the school year and we are sure to have lots of new people, so you won't be the only one, so please don't be shy. Come on over and join us tonight. We'd love to meet you, and who knows, maybe you will find some of the best friends of your college career here. It happens a lot around here.

Feel free to bring some of the friends you've already made at Tech with you, too.

I mentioned Oasis meets at our "campus house". By "campus house" we mean the big old house we own, right on the edge of campus just one block from Lee Hall. For most of you, it's even closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions just look on the top right side of your screen.

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

Whether this will be your first time here, or you've been to CCVT before, I really hope you can make it.

So come on over and join us for Oasis. It's a great mid-week boost to your morale. You will be challenged to grow spiritually, and encouraged by all the Christian friends you will meet.

Recap:
7:15pm every Wednesday -- Oasis Bible Study

Hope to see you there.

Need a Ride to Church?

Come to church with us! We'll meet at our campus house at 10:15am and carpool to Belmont Christian Church. They have a great contemporary style worship service. We'll even have some fruit, donuts, or something for you to snack on while we wait for everyone to arrive.

Bring some lunch money along, too, if you want to go out to eat for lunch with us. We'll drop you off on campus if you'd rather eat on campus or just go back to your dorm.

Feel free to bring a friend with you.

For a map and simple directions to CCVT's campus house only one block from Lee Hall, just look on the top right side of your screen. If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street.

So that's 10:15am at CCVT's campus house.

Hope you can join us.
