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

11th Semi-Annual Reading Day Dinner at the Homeplace and a Special Oasis Tonight




And now for an important message from Joe:

Hello Y’all,

Tomorrow is Reading Day – the break between regularly scheduled classes and exams. Classes are coming to a close, and exams are set to begin, so you (Yes, YOU!) should take some time to recharge for them. 


Join us this Thursday for the 11th Semi-Annual Reading Day Dinner at the Homeplace! God-willing, it should be EPIC.

If you’ve never been to the Homeplace or heard about its wonders, let me fill you in right now with some reasons why you should check it out:
(1) The Homeplace is a delicious all-you-can-eat restaurant in Catawba (out near Dragon’s Tooth and McAfee Knob along the AT, if you’re familiar with either of them).
(2) The food is delicious country-style food – fried chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, pinto beans, biscuits, apple butter, and a side of the day (which is usually corn or apples or something similar).
(3) This all-you-can-eat food is served directly to the table – you don’t have to get up until it’s time to go (well, unless the fire alarm goes off or something…)!
(4) After you’re done eating, they bring you fruit cobbler (perhaps apple or blackberry, etc.) and ice cream. They’ll even bring you coffee if you want it.
(5) Thursday is BBQ day, so they also should be bringing out plenty of pulled pork and cole slaw!

We’re planning to meet up at the campus house at 4:30pm to carpool there. It costs around $15 + a tip (so about $18) and is extremely worth it (especially if you come hungry).

Classes should be over (except exams), and you’re going to eat dinner anyways, so why not join us?

God Bless,
Joseph W. Starr

Thanks, Joe, for rounding us up for this long-lived CCVT tradition.

For those who may be wondering, we will probably make it back to campus sometime between 8 and 9pm.

Also, if you can't make it to the campus house by 4:30pm, but can by, like, 5:15pm or something like that, let me know and I'll coordinate a late departure vehicle for you. I think we are going to have one.

Hope you can join us. It's always fun. And by the way, this is our last official CCVT event of the school year for the guys. The girls still have one more Women of the Word Bible study this coming Sunday night. But for the guys, this is your last chance to get together as a group (unless you put something together yourselves). So hope to see you there.

And I hope to see you tonight at our last Oasis of the school year, too! As you know, we will wrap up our semester long study of 1 Timothy tonight and commission our graduates who are moving away from us, so this will be a very special Oasis you won't want to miss. Come join us in praying for our departing graduates and sending them off with our blessings.

Thanks.
Steve
