Koinonia Christian Campus Fellowship – UC Berkeley Club

Part I (Make sure to read Part II for some exciting news about this weekend!)

On March 7, 2010, 20 ordinary men and women got wet.

Very wet.

We are referring, of course, to Baptism Sunday.  That’s right, this past Sunday TWENTY people were baptized at Gracepoint, twelve of whom were from Koinonia.

Of those twelve, four of them were from our very own HGKJ! WOOT!  Here they are.  We will go in order of age, from “youthful” to “old.”

First off is David, sophomore, whose testimony we all got to hear. Next to him is a mysterious stranger who is holding David tightly to ensure that he does not escape.

Following him, older by an entire four months, Mike.  Here he is with his leaders from freshman year, John and Ellen, plus Sangthan.

Then there’s Justin, who Mike and Jesse disapprove of.

And finally, Suzie, pictured here with Kevan, Jenny, their daughter Abigail, and their son, who we believe should be named “Jai.”  Ten points for the person who can find him!

A few more pictures…

Afterwards, we all headed over to Buffet Town to enjoy some delicious, cheap Korean food.  This was all they had, however.  Some of us went away hungry.

No, we’re joking.  There was food.  They simply underestimated the power of Koinonia consumption capabilities.  In a word, what you see here is “domination”

But all joking aside, praise the lord for twenty new creations in Christ, brothers and sisters that God has been so faithful to.  If you missed it, the testimonies from this past sunday are here.  Looking forward to other encouraging stories in the future!

Now, on to

Part II

Brace yourselves for this one: THIS weekend, we are going on an epic, legendary, HGKJ and JE-only, OVERNIGHT GETAWAY TO SIERRA LODGE!!!  WOOOOOOT!  Warning: there will be snow.  If you want to go, sign up here.

We’ll be leaving after Friday Bible study (which, if you recall, is going to be all-Koinonia after a month of meeting by smaller groups) and returning Saturday around evening time.  Ask your leaders or somebody old for more info!  It’s gonna be awesome!  Be there, or be…studying.  Or something else probably not as fun as working people in the snow.  See you all around!
