What's Coming Up at CCVT

Welcome back to campus everybody! Hope you had a fantastic and restful Winter Break. 

Just want to let you know what CCVT has in store for the first couple weeks of the new semester! 

Wednesday, Jan. 21, 7:15pm -- Oasis Bible study -- We kick the semester off with our main weekly Bible study studying thru the gospel of Luke. This has been one of my favorite studies we've ever done! 

Friday, Jan. 23, 6:30pm -- VT Ice Hockey vs. Maryland -- This is going to be so much fun! Meet at our campus house at 6:30 and we'll carpool to the game in Roanoke. Make sure you have your Hokie passport with you so you can get into the game for free. Those interested will hit Cheddar's (the restaurant) on the way home. 

Sunday, Jan. 25, 10:30am -- Catch a ride to church -- Meet at the campus house to carpool to Belmont Christian Church. Contemporary style worship. 

Sunday, Jan. 25, 7pm -- Women of the Word Bible study kicks off at the campus house. 

Monday, Jan. 26, 7:15pm -- Men of God Bible study kicks off at the campus house. 

Wednesday, Jan. 28, 7:15pm -- Oasis Bible study

Sunday, Feb. 1, 10:30am -- Carpool to church

Sunday, Feb. 1, 6pm -- Super Bowl Party -- complete with "football food," and we'll even have a little football throwing accuracy competition (participation optional)

I'll email you with the details of the ice hockey outing and the Super Bowl party a day or two before those, but we just wanted to let you know about them in advance so you can mark your calendar and invite your friends to join us. 

If you weren't able to join us for the Bible studies or anything last semester, what better time than the beginning of a new semester to begin a new habit? All of the groups are very friendly and open to new people and we'd love to have you join us. Seriously. Come on out and give it a try. You'll never know what you were missing until you give it a try. 

Hope to see you soon!

A CCVT Tradition Continues at The Homeplace

Our traditional semiannual outing to The Homeplace restaurant continues this Thursday! This delicious tradition started seven years ago and we've been going to The Homeplace restaurant at the end of each semester ever since. 

If you don't know about The Homeplace restaurant, you are missing out. Most people I know would say it's one of the best restaurants within an hour's drive of Blacksburg. It's out in the country in a small town called Catawba, about a half hour from here, near Roanoke. They make the most delicious southern style food like country ham, fried chicken, and roast beef, with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, coleslaw, pinto beans, and other fruits or vegetables of the day, and apple butter for your buttermilk biscuits, and really good sweet tea and lemonade, and fruit cobbler for dessert. And because we are going on a Thursday we will also have the option of pulled pork BBQ with our meal! 

As if the food wasn't good enough, we also get to eat it "family style" where you all sit around a huge table and just pass the food around and put however much you want on your plate and pass it on to the next person. It's like a big family holiday dinner. And the servers just keep bringing the food out until everybody has had as much as they want to eat. 

All of this only costs about 15 dollars -- all you can eat, remember -- and it even includes your drink, dessert, and tax! The only thing you need to add is the tip. 

So take a much needed study break before resuming your cramming for exams and come on out to join us. As Joe wanted me to be sure to point out, you're going to have to take time to eat anyway, so why not come and eat with us? 

And bring some friends with you, too. 

Just meet us at the campus house at 4:30pm and we'll carpool from there. We'll probably get back to campus around 8:30 or 9pm. 

Remember: 4:30pm Thursday, at the campus house. 15 dollars plus tip. 

See you then.
