Plans for this Weekend

Hey everybody, I hope your Spring Break was awesome and blessed and that you are rested and ready to run down the home stretch of the spring semester. Let's finish the school year well!

I just need to let you know about a couple things regarding this weekend:

1) Our Potluck Dinner has been rescheduled from this Friday, March 21, to Friday, April 11. We will have to wait a little longer but smoked pork is going to be on the menu that night, so I think a lot of us will consider it worth the wait when the day finally rolls around. We'll have more details when we get closer to that date.

2) This Saturday, March 22, from 2 to 6pm is Spring Cleaning Day at the campus house!

'Tis the season for spring cleaning, and this Saturday that is exactly what we are going to do at the Campus House. There is a lot of indoor cleaning that needs to be done, and a lot of outdoor yard work to do, too.

Can we count on you to come help? It's a great service opportunity in the spirit of "ut prosim". You won't get a T-shirt for participating like you do with some other well known service projects, but you'll have the satisfaction of a job well done, which you'll get to see every time you come to the campus house, and you'll be helping the Lord's work, which is the most important work you can possibly help, and "great will be your reward in heaven".

We'll meet at the campus house at 2pm to start divvying out the cleaning assignments. (That's d-i-v-v-y-i-n-g, not d-i-w-y-i-n-g as my sans serif font makes it appear on my screen. Haha.)

When it gets to be supper time we'll wrap up the cleaning and yardwork and enjoy a great cookout together -- a well deserved reward for an afternoon's hard work.

If you'd like to bring some food for the cookout you can sign up at Oasis. If you can't make it to Oasis, just let me know what you'd like to sign up for and I'll write your name down for you on the sign-up sheet. So far we still need volunteers to bring cheese slices, sliced tomatoes, chips, soda, or brownies, or anything else you want to bring. But don't bring anything that has to be kept hot or cold or we may have a problem since it might be sitting out all afternoon and we'll be cleaning the kitchen so we won't want crock pots keeping us from cleaning the counters and such.

Hey, even cleaning can be fun when you are doing it with friends, and as they say, "Many hands make light work", so I hope you will come join us Saturday afternoon for some good fellowship and service time with your CCVT friends.

Hope to see you Wednesday night at Oasis.
Steve

The Big Event

Hey everybody, listen up -- Lindsey has an important announcement to make about The Big Event: 

Hey y’all, 

Every spring, thousands of students, faculty, staff, and family come together to complete nearly one thousand community service projects throughout Blacksburg, Christiansburg and the New River Valley. Projects are completed regardless of need or socioeconomic status; instead, it is The Big Event’s goal to simply say, “Thank you.” 

Seeded in our university’s motto of Ut Prosim (That I may serve) students and community members come together for a truly unparalleled experience.

It is a wonderful opportunity to humble ourselves and serve our community! Last year we had two groups from CCVT to work on projects in the NRV. 

Big Event is on April 5^th this year, and we can only register through March 22^nd. 

It is free to register, all is required is your willingness to serve on April 5^th. 

Please go to www.vtbigevent.org to sign-up. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. 

Sending my best,
Lindsey

Thanks for organizing CCVT's team for The Big Event, Lindsey! 

Hope to see you all at Oasis tonight. 

Steve
