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.
