Clarion

the semester rolls on

by jay on September 20, 2006

Well, we’re into the thick of it now.

Carrie and I are now leading Bible studies on 3 campuses. Carrie is leading women’s Bible studies at Clarion (Tues. 6PM in the Gemmel Student Center) and Edinboro (Sunday 7PM on the 7th floor of the Library). I’m also leading one at Clarion (same time, in the Library) and at Edinboro (Wed 4:30 7th floor Library) for guys and the one the will hopefully be the cornerstone for the ministry at Behrend (Thursdays at 8:30, the location is still being worked out).

Also, we’re working and helping to start the new Gathering Erie which will be meeting in the Cellblock dance club in downtown Erie on Sunday nights starting in October. We’re excited for new possibilities in the Erie area.

One other thing is that we also have the Western PA Fall Retreat coming up on the weekend that bridges the end of September and Beginning of October – pray that we’d have a good turnout and weather would be good for the event.

Well, I need to get some stuff done before leaving for Edinboro to lead the study and speak at Cru (the weekly meeting).

Thank you for all of your prayers!

Honest questions about faith…

For some reason, I am fueled by conversations with people who think differently than I do, and tonight I got to have a few of those in between some meetings with our student leaders. Besides getting to meet a guy from Brazil who’s given name is Axel (no kidding), I got to hang out for about an hour with Lisa who I met briefly few weeks ago sort of by accident. She’s an amazing, intelligent, thoughtful freshman who has some great questions about faith in Christ and where it overlaps with science and real life, and the fears and frustrations that sometimes accompany being friends with people who claim to follow Him. Pray that she is able to find time and the drive to continue seeking truth, and that God will reveal Himself to her plainly as she makes steps in understanding faith.

Pray for my brain.

I have a lot on my plate… I’m speaking tonight at Clarion, about what? I’m not quite sure yet. I have to plan a Bible Study for Behrend on Thursday as well and I have a full day tomorrow. In in the movie Tommy Boy, David Spade says, “Did anyone see Scanners?” – I know [...]
