A New Year

It is 2011 already. Time flies when you are having fun.  How many times have you written 2010 this year when you should have written 2011? This is something I struggle with every year. It reminds me of salvation. There is a change that occurs in our life. Sometimes, though, we get stuck in the old ways. With the help of the Holy Spirit, over time, we can get to where we are sinning less and less over time. Eventually, our physical body dies and we go to Heaven to sin no more.

Let's not be stuck in last year and let's not be stuck in our old habits. Let us press on toward the prize of the high calling of Jesus Christ.

We have re-started the meetings on Fridays at noon in the Student Center. Last Friday was our first meeting of the semester. If you are a student at IUPUI, please come join us. We meet on the 2nd floor of the Student Center across from Chic-fil-a at noon on Fridays.

We are looking for an exciting 2011.

Next meeting is December 3rd

We have moved our regular meetings to Fridays in the Student Center on the 1st floor across from Chic-fil-a at 12:00 PM.  We will not be having a meeting the day after Thanksgiving.  Our next meeting will be December 3rd.


Please plan to join us as we talk about relative truth.  Is truth relative? Is truth absolute?  Come join our discussion and see how this applies to our call to tell others about Jesus Christ.

Shout out

I just wanted to give a shout out to Jim Miller. He stood in for me this past Monday as I was gone to a pastor's conference.  It sounds like he had a good time and handed out some tracts encouraging students to join in the group.

Thanks a million, Jim.

Update

There will be no meeting October 18th as school will be out. The following Monday, we will join with Good Messengers Ministry as they have their monthly meeting at Horizon Christian Fellowship Central 1001 E Palmer Indianapolis IN 46203 from 6:30 PM until around 9:00 PM.

Friday November 12th-Saturday November 13th, ACT for the Gospel will be hosting Open Air Campaigners training. Open Air Campaigners uses visual arts to draw people in to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.  You do not need to be an artist to use these techniques, but you will look like one. Plan on coming to this free training Friday evening from 6-8 PM. and Saturday from 10 AM until about 2:30 PM with a break for lunch.

After the training, there will be a outreach opportunity. This will be a great opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the people around us. More information on the location will follow.  If you think you would like to get involved, please contact Barry Atwell at 317-728-1066 or by e-mail at barryatwell@gmail.com.

Today is the Day!

Today, September 13th, 2010, is the day for our first meeting of CCN @ IUPUI for this school year. I am eagerly waiting for this evening to come.  I am excited about what can happen on a university campus if we allow God to be in control.

This year, we are opening up our meeting to people outside of the IUPUI community. With IUPUI being a commuter campus, we really want to reach out and be an instrument for God wherever we find ourselves.  Many students at IUPUI are part time students with full and active lives outside of college. This brings unique obstacles as well as unique opportunities.

My prayer is that we will seize the opportunities and allow God to deal with the obstacles.

September 13th Kickoff

Today, we have laid the ground work to be recognized as an official group on campus again this year at IUPUI. Our student president is Rachael Winzeler. She has years of experience on the mission field in Brazil and has come back to the states to complete her degree.

We are planning our first official meeting of the year for Monday 9/13/2010 from 6:00PM to 8:00 PM.  Be sure to sign up for updates and you will get alerted when we have the meeting place reserved, or you can just check back from time to time.

We are very excited about what God has in store for us this year. It should be a fun year as we set out to change the campus for the glory of God.
