Penn State Behrend

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!

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 what he’s talking about now.

Pray that my brain doesn’t blow up.

Update (7:04 PM) – The talk for Clarion is done. Pray that I will be filled with the Spirit of God that students will be affected to follow after God’s plan of reaching every person with His grace.
