Men's Bible Study, 7:15pm Mondays

Hey guys, 

Our men's Bible study continues tomorrow (Monday) night. We were glad to welcome some new guys to the group last week, and hope to welcome some more of you this week. Please come join us. 

We like to call this small group Bible study "Men of God" because that describes what we're trying to help one another be. 

Our "Men of God" Bible study has two main thrusts:
One is to study God's word and learn from it, of course.
The second is to make some really good friends who will support us and help us to live a life that pleases God.

Sometimes we have friends but faith really isn't at the center of our friendship, so they really don't do anything to help us stay strong in the faith. Maybe they even do the opposite. 

Other times we study the Bible and learn more stuff about it, but we really aren't putting much of it into practice because we don't have anybody to help us know how, or to give us moral support.

"Men of God" is designed to bring these two crucial pieces together to give us the support we need to live out the truths we learn from God's word! 

If you're new, the guys would love to welcome you to the group. Don't be shy -- come on over.

We meet 7:15pm Mondays at our campus house right on the edge of campus, just one block from Lee, O'Shag, or Miles Hall. For a map and simple directions just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of the house. If you're still not clear on how to get here after looking at that (any directions can be a challenge when you are brand new to campus) give me a call at 540-552-8292 and I'll help you out. But it's really pretty easy to find. 

Let's get the year started off right.

Feel free to bring a friend.

Remember, 7:15pm Mondays.

I'll see you there.

Catch a Ride to Church

We are carpooling to church again tomorrow morning, so if you need a ride, you are more than welcome to join us! 

We'll meet at our campus house at 10:15am and carpool to Belmont Christian Church. 

Afterward you are welcome to go out to eat with us. If anyone needs to head straight back to campus after church for a meeting or whatever, we can do that, too. 

Our campus house is right on the edge of campus, just one block from Lee Hall -- about a 2-3 minute walk for most of you if you live on campus. For a map & simple directions just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of the house. If you're still not clear on how to get here after looking at that (any directions can be a challenge when you are brand new to campus) give me a call at 540-552-8292 and I'll help you out. But it's really pretty easy to find. 

Feel free to invite a friend. 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

See you soon! 

S'mores and more!

Don't forget: tonight at 8:30 is Campfire Night at CCVT! 

We'll roast marshmallows around the fire pit, make some s'mores, and enjoy sitting around the fire telling stories and maybe even sing some campfire songs and stuff! 

Bring your camp and lawn chairs if you have any. (Not likely for those in the dorms, I know, but some of you off campus might have some.) 

Invite your friends! 

For a map and simple directions just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of our campus house. If you're still not clear on how to get here after looking at that (any directions can be a challenge when you are brand new to campus) give me a call at 540-552-8292 and I'll help you out. But it's really pretty easy to find. 

See you there! 

Free Spaghetti Dinner & Oasis

Tomorrow night (Thursday) and every Thursday night is our main weekly meeting which we like to call "Oasis". As the name implies, it's a place to come for spiritual refreshing. Oasis includes worship, Bible study, group discussion, sharing with friends, and prayer. 

This week we have an extra special treat to kickoff the new school year. We are going to have a free homemade spaghetti dinner before Oasis, complete with meat sauce, garlic bread, salad and dessert. Our own Michael and Alex Starr are the "starr" chefs, with some help from their friends. Dinner starts at 6pm.

The dinner and Oasis will both be at our campus house, only one block from Lee and Miles halls. For a map and simple directions just go to CHRISTatVT.org and look on the right side of your screen under the photo of our campus house. If you're still not clear on how to get here after looking at that (any directions can be a challenge when you are brand new to campus) give me a call at 540-505-4264 and I'll help you out. But it's really pretty easy to find. 

Feel free to bring a friend.

Prayer & Pancakes

This Saturday morning at 11:00, let's ask God's blessing on this year and on Virginia Tech.

We'll also enjoy homemade pancakes and sausage. Flapjacks, griddle cakes, hotcakes, or pancakes -- call them what you want, we will have them homemade, hot off the griddle, and in abundance Saturday morning, complete with pretty much whatever you might want on top. And as if that wasn't awesome enough -- they're free!

We'll eat at our campus house right by the tennis courts, one block over from Washington Street. For a map & simple directions, just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of our campus house.

It's really easy to find, but just in case, since you are so new to campus, if you run into any problems finding it, just give me a call: 540-505-4264.

Feel free to bring a friend.

See you 11am tomorrow (Saturday).

We'll see you soon.

Welcome to VT!

Welcome to Tech, new Hokies! 

Maybe you've clicked through to our blog from VT's events calendar, were referred to our site by a friend, or just found us through a Google search. Regardless of how you ended up here, thanks so much for your interest in CCVT. 

CCVT believes that God is real, the Bible is true, and Jesus in alive! We are a Bible believing group of students saved by grace and striving to love God and love people. We dig deep into God's Word to apply it to our lives, and we also spend a good amount of time just hanging out, laughing and having fun. 

CCVT is more than just another student organization, or place to go to church --CCVT is a place where students build lifelong friendships and get the support we all need to thrive. We take the time to really care about each other and build one another up in our walk with God. 

Below is a list of the events we have planned for the beginning of the fall semester. Please make a note of these on your calendar and make plans to join us. We are really looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you.

Also, don't forget to join us Thursday nights at 7:15pm at our campus house (right by the dorms, just one block over from Washington St. by the tennis courts) for our main weekly meeting called "Oasis".

We also have small group Bible studies at various times during the week. And you are welcome to catch a ride to church with us on Sunday mornings. 

Here's what's coming up! (All these events are FREE and happen at our campus house, or at least begin there.)
