Pizza Party @ 6 with Big Hero 6

Hey guys!

This Friday at the campus house we will be having a "make your own pizza" party. By this I mean there will be pizza, and you can put whatever you want on your own individual pizza and enjoy.

In addition to enjoying our own creations of yum, we shall be watching Big Hero 6, which everyone knows is a pretty great movie. (if you haven't seen it then you basically have to come if only for that reason)

The shindig starts at 6, so, show up then.
Bring your friends, cause, pizza.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and Thursday
& I shall see ya Friday!

Women of the Word Bible Study

Hey Ladies!

You are beautiful!!! I know this -- 

​I might have never met you in person yet --

 

​but I know this! D

o you know this??? I hope you do! "You are fearfully and wonderfully made"(Psalm 139)  and you are beautiful because the Creator "knit you together" even before you were born and He is the Master Artist! No one and nothing can ever change this beauty bestowed on you -- He made you and because of this, you are beautiful! 

This is Stacey from Christ's Church at VT Campus Ministry and I want to invite you to our next WOW! -- Women of the Word Bible Study. We meet each Sunday Night at 7pm at CCVT's Campus House during the Fall Semester. 

Things you might want to know about this study:

1) We are a friendly group! And we really want you to be there! And we will miss you if you don't come! Remember: Sundays at 7!

2) You don't have to know a lot about the Bible to come, in fact, you don't have to own a Bible -- we can give you one! We are all learning together and that's what makes it so much fun as we support each other and spur each other on to grow up and become more like our Savior, God's only Son - Jesus. Jesus gave His very life for us to set us free from sin and death -- He showed us how to live, and love and even die because of His great love! And because of His sacrifice we can have a new start and a new life in Him today and forever! 

3) We do a lot of sharing and encouraging in this group, and this is really good because God didn't mean for us to go it alone -- we need each other and God can teach us so much through each other as we share our lives, experiences and challenges. 

4) Sharing is important -- but what we value most is -- God's Word because this is God's love letter to us! And who doesn't like a love letter?? God is the one that loves us most and so His love letter to us -- the Bible -- is what we major on in the WOW Bible study! 

We really hope to see you this SUNDAY!

Praying for You

I just got done praying this prayer for all the students on CCVT's email list this year. It comes straight from the Bible -- Colossians 1:9-14. It says:

"We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins." (New Living Translation)

This was the Apostle Paul's prayer for the Christians in Colossae. May all this come true in your life, too. 

We'll be talking about this tonight at CCVT's "Oasis". I hope you can join us.

"Oasis" meets every Thursday night at 7:15 at CCVT's campus house which 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. If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the Washington Street tennis courts bus stop. 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 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. 

Hope you can make it tonight. 

God bless.

Gelato, Italian Ice, and homemade ice cream!

There's this awesome little ice cream shop hidden away in Christiansburg that most VT students don't know about. They have the most amazing, delicious selection of hand dipped ice cream flavors, Italian ices, Cream Ices, homemade Italian Gelato, homemade ice cream, and over 50 flavors of soft-serve! Meet us at the campus house 7:30 Friday night and we'll take you there. 

Bring your friends!

And guys, the ice cream at this place really is exceptionally good, so really, don't miss out on it. 

Hike the Cascades!

Hey guys, listen up -- Alex has something to say: 

Hey everyone!

This Saturday you have the opportunity to hike The Cascades!! The cascades is an amazing waterfall located just outside of Blacksburg. It's about a 4 mile easy hike round trip and you follow a beautiful stream all the way up.  It is one of the coolest things you will see while at Tech AND it’s on the Hokie Bucket list!

Afterwards, since no doubt ya shall be hungry, we will be going to a Mexican restaurant to feast on delicious food.  

We will be meeting at the campus house at 10am so we can carpool.

The campus house is only one block from Lee and Miles halls. For a map and simple directions just look on the right side of your screen under the photo of our campus house. Or you can call us at 540-552-8292. 

It should be a pretty great day!

So bring a water bottle and some friends, and we’ll see you at 10am!

Thanks, Alex! 

Tell Me the Truth

Have you tried CCVT's Oasis Worship & Bible Study yet? If not, do it tonight! If you have, we hope to see you again tonight. 

I can't think of a more important topic than what we'll be talking about tonight. From the beginning of Colossians we'll hear what God has to say about something a lot of people these days aren't even sure exists -- Truth! Did you know God had something to say on that topic? Do you know what he said? If not, you'd better be here to hear it. Seriously, I mean, shouldn't you? It's a pretty important thing to know what God thinks about something as crucial as truth. 

As the name implies, Oasis is a place to come for spiritual refreshing. Oasis includes worship, Bible study, group discussion, sharing with friends, and prayer. 

Oasis meets at our campus house, only one block from Lee and Miles halls. 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 so 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 bring a friend.

See you tonight! 

Getting Football Tickets and Sitting with Friends

And now for an important message from Michael: 

--------------------------

Well howdy there partner,

Are you playing the lottery to get tickets to football games this year?  Do you wanna have awesome friends to sit with?  Well the answer to all your problems is in this here little ole post. 

I've created a group for us online that up to 30 people can be a part of.  All you have to do is sign up for the lottery and use the 'Join A Group' option near the top of the page.  You can sign up for the lottery using your PID and password at the following link: http://www.hokietickets.com/student/lottery/pick.php .  Even if you've already signed up for the lottery, you can still go back to it and join the group before the lottery closes.  Warning: The deadline for the lottery and to be in our group for the Ohio State game is tonight at 11:59:59.  If you miss this deadline you can still join our group for later games. 

Once you are part of the group, under the seating column you need to select which games you plan to attend with us.  After that, whoever wins the lottery out of our group will get to sit together! 

Feel free to contact me in any way, shape, or form if you're having a hard time figuring it out. (540) 230-9654 rmstarr@vt.edu
