Change of Plans

This Friday, October 3, instead of "Iron Chef" as previously announced, we are going on a corn maze adventure!

Don't worry, we are still going to do Iron Chef. It has merely been postponed until Saturday, October 18, at 6pm. Moving it to a Saturday when there is no football game will allow our contestants more time to prepare their delicious entries. After we had a little more time to think about it, we thought a lot of folks might be busy with classes and meetings on Friday afternoon and wouldn't have time to prepare their food.

So please mark your calendars for 6pm, Saturday, October 18 for Iron Chef. We'll email you with more details about that as we get closer to the date.

In the meantime, please plan to join us this Friday, October 3. We'll meet at the campus house at 5:30pm and carpool about 20 minutes out to this quaint little diner for dinner that's just down the road from our ultimate destination. The calzones and hamburgers at this place are amazing. There is a wide variety of other menu items to choose from all at very reasonable prices. When we're sufficiently fueled we'll hop over to the farm where we will explore the huge corn maze. If you want to, you can even take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and pick out your very own pumpkin to purchase!

I'll email you more details Thursday. For now, just plan on joining us Friday night at 5:30pm! And invite your friends!

Hope to see you at Oasis Bible Study Wednesday night at 7:15pm at the campus house.

Profound Discussions at "Men of God" Bible Study -- Monday Nights 7:15

Hey guys,
Just a reminder about our "Men of God" Bible study that meets Mondays at 7:15 at our campus house.

Our group is still open to new members, so if you were too busy getting acclimated to VT earlier in the year, or you've just been trying out different groups, there is still time for you to come check out "Men of God".

We have been getting into some pretty deep theological stuff, without getting too technical, so if you are into deep thoughts and profound discussion, you might especially enjoy this study.

Our campus house is 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 missed my explanation of "Men of God" Bible study earlier this year, read on below:

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. Or 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.

Hope to see you there.
