Let's Go Out for Mexican

This Friday we are getting together to go out to eat for Mexican. 

Meet us at the campus house at 6pm. 

We're going to El Mariachi. It's in Blacksburg but way out South Main Street toward Christiansburg. For what it's worth, Joe and I agree it's the best Mexican restaurant in the New River Valley. 

But even if you prefer another Mexican restaurant, or some other style of food altogether, we hope you'll come join us anyway, just to hang out with us. 

Remember: 

6pm Friday at the campus house. 

Hope to see you then. 

vtONE campus-wide worship event

Do you remember way back at the end of February I sent you an email encouraging you to go to vtONE, the campus-wide worship event? That feels like so long ago my memory about that is pretty hazy. But I do remember that it ended up getting canceled because the night of the worship event we had one of those big snow storms. 

So guess what -- they rescheduled vtONE and it is going to be this coming Monday, April 20, at 7pm in Squires Commonwealth Ballroom! 

Of course, our Men of God Bible study meets on Monday nights, so we talked about it last week and we decided to participate as a group in vtONE that week. You are invited to join us! (Not just the guys -- girls are invited, too!) 

Here's the plan: 

Meet at the campus house at 5:45pm. 

Walk over to Moe's and eat. 

Then walk over to Squires before 7pm to participate in vtONE. 

We hope you will join us. This will be a good time of fellowship at Moe's before vtONE, and a good time of worship with brothers and sisters in Christ from many other campus ministries around campus at vtONE itself. It's another opportunity to express unity in Christ, not unlike what we did Friday night with the Ambassadors for Christ campus ministry. (We probably would have scheduled the two events further apart, but we didn't know about vtONE's new date until after we had already scheduled the joint worship event with the Ambassadors. But you can't get too much worship or unity with other Christians, so what's to complain about, right?) 

The vtONE event is free. Regrettably, Moe's food is not. 

Hope to see you at the campus house 5:45pm Monday night! 

Joint Worship Extravaganza!

And now for an important message from Michael Starr: 

Hello everyone,

Hope your week is moving along fantabulisticly!!! I'd like to take this opportunity to fashion a 100% student created announcement regarding tomorrow's upcoming event. 

And that event is......(drum roll).......A DELUXE JOINT WORSHIP EVENT EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!

That's right, you read that correctly.  CCVT and the Ambassadors for Christ are teaming up to produce twice the worship in half the time that we'd be able to accomplish otherwise as individual ministries.  So grab your singin' shorts and plan on joining us at the campus house at 7 pm est, tomorrow, April 17th, 2015 AD. 

Things that will happen:

1. Short Devo by yours truly

2. Worship Singing (It'll be a Capella, but don't worry, we have excellent leaders in the Ambassadors to drown out those of us who are a Capella-ly challenged.)

3. Prayer Time

4. Optional Celebratory Pilgrimage to Frosty Parrot 

Still not convinced you should come?  I'm gonna give you 3 good reasons why ya oughta join us!

1. Worshiping God is a great way to strengthen the bond between each other and God

2. It's an excellent chance to fellowship with other Christians outside of our campus ministry, which is both encouraging and we'll have some new friends around campus!

So be sure to join us! I guarantee it'll be worth your time.  And, since time is money, you can hold me personally and financially responsible if you feel that it was not worth your time!!  Oh, what's that?  You want to know what the 3rd reason to join us is??? Well, HA! I shall reveal the 3rd reason tomorrow at the event.  And now the curiosity will eat away at you, slowly, until you just gotta come find out. 

Your friend in time,

Michael

That is all. You are now dismissed to return to your previous activities. Thank you.

Spring Cleaning Day

Hey CCVTers, hope you are having a good week. 

Don't forget, this Saturday, April 11, starting at 10am we will be having a Spring Cleaning Day at CCVT's campus house. There is some yard work that needs to be done, as well as some indoor cleaning to do, so no matter which kind you prefer, we've got a project for you. 

The weather forecast is shaping up to be perfect! God is really blessing us with some awesome weather. It's going to be sunny and in the 50's while we are working, with a gentle breeze, and low humidity. Perfect for working outside, or inside with the windows open! 

Can we count on you to help? It's a great service opportunity in the spirit of "ut prosim". Plus you will 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", right? 

We'll meet at the campus house at 10am to start divvying out the assignments. 

When we finish our projects we'll enjoy some pizza together -- a well deserved reward for your hard work. I'm thinking we'll be done by 2pm if not sooner. 

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 for some good fellowship and service time with your CCVT friends. 

See you Saturday morning. 

Steve
