Yesterday we saw big things in the life of Chi Alpha. For our Free Meal With A Message yesterday, we had nearly 150 students come and eat!! It was phenomenal! There was a lady who came and sang Gospel songs and shared her testimony as the message. She was awesome and students really seemed to be listening and in to it. It was really awesome!
Also in the month of September, every Wednesday night we have Freshman Jumpstart. Jumpstart is a series of classes to help freshmen get a "jumpstart" on their college career. Last night they learned about personalities and how to make friends and get along/work with other personality types and such. In the following weeks they will also learn about time management, money management, study skills, and relationships. Last night there were 105 present for Freshman Jumpstart!!!! I think that may be our biggest group for Jumpstart... ever!
Tonight we are Back to the Bijou (the theatre on campus where we hold our weekly worship service) for our first Thursday Night Live of the semester. Can we say excited????? This year has been amazing and we're not even two full weeks in. I'm so excited about the influence that students are having on this campus, the relationships that are being built, the way new people are plugging in, and so much more!
This is just the beginning, but what a beginning it has been! I cannot wait to see the rest of this year and how it unfolds! Big things!! Big things!!!!!
Until then......
(I am also excited about heading home this weekend!!!! Yay!!
