From: Christian Fellowship
Date: October 15, 2013
Subject: Christian Fellowship Weekly Digest 10/15



Last week's takeaways: Pizza is good and so are brownies. Thanks to everyone who made it out to dinner last week ... what a sweet time of fellowship (pics attached). And great job to the first years on getting through finals!

Prayer for this week: "Not my will, but yours, be done" - Luke 22:42. As we refect on Fall 1 and process upcoming recruiting/life decisions, may we look at these through the lense of the question: "Lord, what would bring you pleasure?"

EVENTS THIS WEEK:

No Wednesday Meeting, but Friday Game Night at Patrick / Nate's: 30 Winchester Ave, #7. 8pm. BYO Drink & Game, we'll have dessert! Email or call Patrick with any questions: patrick.briaud@yale.edu; 510.717.2356. We'll be back with our regular Wednesday evening meeting next week.

Rivendell seminar- Cultivating the Virtues: Practices for Christian Scholars (4 Wednesdays, Oct 16-Nov 6, 4-5pm, 16 Lynwood Place)

The qualities we want and need as Christian scholars can be cultivated by practicing certain virtues. This seminar will look at these qualities and highlight the challenges we face to experiencing them. We will also investigate practical steps for bringing these qualities into our lives more consistently.

Friday Rivendell Women's Bible Study: Friday from 7-9 at 16 Lynwood place. Partners are welcome, and they'll be studying "A deeper look at the beatitudes/growing in Christian character within the academy." It's run by a wonderful group of women you'll be blessed to get to know. Let Allison know if you'd like any more information.

Columbus House: Second year Meg Watkins is graciously organizing a volunteer opportunity at Columbus house, a homeless shelter that can use your help preparing and serving a meal on October 23rd. Patrick will be there, and it would be great to get a CF contingent out. Sign up here if you're able to serve
