SummerICA!!
Hey all,
I hope you’re all enjoying your summer break after a long and arduous spring semester. For those that are going to be around the Berkeley area for the summer, there will be an awesome SummerICA gathering every week! We will be studying the book of Luke together. So if you have time and/or are bored of during this summer, then please come and join us. Here are the details:
What: SummerICA
Where: 2525 Durant Ave. #3-8 (soon to be formerly Brandon/Brian’s apt)
When: Wednesday, 6/4, 7pm
So we hope to see anybody who is around next Wednesday! Bring your friends who also might be interested. Enjoy your break!
*If you would like to receive emails about events and such, please contact Vicky Liu
Quiet times schedule update
We will continue morning quiet times through finals, but starting on Tuesday, May 13, they will be at 9 AM at the SLC.
Tuesday and Wednesday next week, which are the “dead days” before exams, we will be reading the short book of the prophet Haggai. Haggai’s message is about priorities and putting God first in our lives. I hope as we prepare for finals, that your studying would come from a heart of worship to God, rather than an act of independence and trusting your own ability.
Throughout the exam period (except Saturday), we will be meditating on one or two psalms each day. The psalms are full of awesome expressions of the psalmists’ hearts which question, struggle, and try to believe, just as we do. Even more than usual, you don’t have to worry about what you missed the day before, since each psalm is independent of the ones around it.
God bless you all and grace upon you for finals!
