Happenings

Kudos to Annika and Andrea leading the prayer talk yesterday! 10 out of 10 on the stepping up scale. Double Whoot!

So that I don’t get overwhelmed with our coolness, I thought I’d write down all the ideas we’ve had and upcoming events, etc. Consider this a one-stop-shop for Bamboozlers info! Oh, and I think it would be awesome if you all make these your own by taking charge of organizing one (and Lydia and I can’t do everything…). Let me know if there’s any of these you want to claim. 

This Week: 

Dessert Night: NOV23, 7PM to 10PM, Rocky Mountain College. This is a chance to let friends, family, co-workers, whatever learn more about the happenings of C4C. It’s gonna be coffee-house style and there will be presentations about Winter Con, Projects, and general Ministry stuff. It’s also a kind of fundraiser for the ministry and especially for Winter Con because a lot of students can’t afford the whole cost.

Dessert Night contest and preparation: Whichever D.G. makes the best dessert (as judged by some parents) will be served  dessert during their D.G. by Brian and Carly (student presidents), who will be wearing tux’s! Kind of like yesterday, only sweeter because we will be enjoying the fruits of our victory! However, at least 3 members of the D.G. must be present at the dessert night! it’s a lot of fun anyway, so please try to make it out. Good community building opportunities too, and you know I love community!

Tuesday: 7:15ish at Annika and Lydia’s place (2932 Unwin Road) we will be making “sex (or as I like to call it: salvation,) in a pan” and a gingerbread house that will rock everyone’s world! Bring out any cool figurines or ideas or baking skills that will make it the best it can possibly be. We strive for excellence!

 

Christmas stuff:

Christmas Party!DEC 2, 4PM, Andrea V.’s Church (address coming later, but it is somewhere south of Cougar Ridge.)This is a Christmas party for everybody in Campus for Christ. IT’S SEMI-FORMAL/FORMAL SO WE CAN GO NUTS WITH DRESSING UP! WHOOHOO! I’m thinking of theming my outfit…we’ll see how that goes…

RSVP to ccc.comms@gmail.com

Winter ConDEC 28 to JAN 1, at the Eau Claire Sheraton!!!!!Winter Con is a place to hear awesome speakers, meet people from other campuses (community!), learn more about things like summer projects, and go to a sweet year end banquet (semi-formal/formal…hehehe). It’s also the first place I ever really heard God’s voice. It’s probably the best way you can spend your money. Seriously consider going!!! (We need all the people we can get to beat the other campuses for the campus cup at the New Year’s party!). Talk to me if you have any questions.

You can register at http://register.ciministry.com. It’s $219 dollars till Dec 1st, then it’s $240. So register sooooon!

psst, there will be two draws for $100 off winter con, one on
the 24th NOV, and one at the Christmas party. If it’s your first year in the min you get $50 off! 

Carolling: I’m a fan.  Does anyone wanna be in charge of organizing the date, time and songs? 

Christmas Present: Instead of giving each other presents we can pool our money to bless others. Buying something through World Vision (or other similar organizations) for starving community’s and Operation Christmas Child Boxes were mentioned. 

Getting back at the guys: So, we have a need to thank the guys (and outdo them, hehehe) for the awesome snackage they got for us. So we’re thinking of letting this be our Christmas Present to them. Christmas themed food sometime after Dec. 1st. More brainstorming to come.

 

Other Ideas:

Movie Night: Hang out sometime to watch such moving epic films like “Chariots of Fire”, “Ben Hur”, and “Spartacus”. Day yet to be figured out. 

End of Semester Celebration: It’s tradition. Going out for dinner or lunch as a group to celebrate the victory over a semester. This year it’s been suggested that we go to some slightly dressy place and arrive in formal wear (there’s no such thing as semi-formal for me!). I wanna hear your suggestions on good restaurants.

Prayer Chain: Morning prayer happens daily at 8 in the new Prayer Space upper Mac Hall (near the new Womens Centre). For those of you who are like me and need a boost to make it out we’ve started a bamboozlers wake-up call chain. So far, for Wednesdays, the chain goes: I call Annika who wakes up Lydia who calls Brittany. If you wanna get in on this sweet battle cry give me a shout.

Sharing Schedule: Just an idea. We can get to know each other better by pairing up weekly/bi-weekly to go out sharing. let me know what you all think of this.

Story of the Soul next semester: Our $500 outreach will take place next semester. I’ve suggested a S.O.S. style which includes different roles and a lot of teamwork to host a coffee house style night of media and deep questions. We shouldn’t put off planning this though, so keep thins in your prayers and thoughts.
