City Serve 4-19-2009

Today, Supernova was supposed to bring a bunch of stuff to this house reserved for a Nepali refugee family and set their house up. Unfortunately, we got lost on the way and circled around Lake Shore and went back and forth between Chicago and Evanston approximately 532 times. So in the end, we just dropped the stuff off and went to have lunch at Indiatown. Most of us stuffed ourselves at this Indian buffet, and we managed to squeeze free beverages out of the restaurant!

Tech Support: “All right…now double-click on the File Manager icon.”

Customer: “That’s why I hate this ‘Windows’–because of the icons–I’m a Protestant, and I don’t believe in icons.”

Tech Support: “Well, that’s just an industry term sir. I don’t believe it was meant to-”

Customer: “I don’t care about any ‘industry terms’. I don’t believe in icons.”

Tech Support: “Well…why don’t you click on the ‘little picture’ of a file cabinet…it’s a ‘little picture’, okay?”

Customer: *hangs up*

LIFE Group 4.15.2009

Last night we had a great LIFE group gathering at Penny's apartment, where we ate brownies and strawberries (yum!) and had a very great discussion about faith, deeds, and even the hardening of the Pharaoh's heart. We are looking forward to City Serve this Sunday!!

If anyone has prayer requests, please post them!

Welcome Spring Quarter!

Today was the first Life Group of spring quarter, we met in the Kemper lounge and had a great time sharing about our various spring break experiences and also looking forward to the rest of this quarter. We want to finish strong and on a high note! Hannah passed back the letters that we wrote to ourselves earlier this year, back on 10/22/2008, almost half a year ago, and many of us were surprised by how much we have/have not changed since then.

Things to look forward to and pray for:
1) our own themes for this upcoming quarter like discernment, engage, finish strong, love, don't forget God, humility, witnessing, get out.
2) The upcoming all-night prayer night this Friday.
3) Witnessing to our dorm mates next Wednesday! (baking perhaps?)
