Just in case you didn’t hear the announcement about our new summer schedule:

  • Tuesdays: We’ll continue with prayer meeting and Bible Study, starting 7pm @ First Pres.
  • Thursdays: Multiply Your Talents, 7-9pm @ Northloop. (Sign up if you haven’t yet)
  • Fridays: We will no longer have Bible studies on Fridays. Fridays will be open for small group or homegroup activities, overnight trips, and other fun stuff!

We’re starting a NEW message series this Sunday (6/6). Please come and also invite your friends!

As announced, there’s a ton of stuff going on this summer. And as we talked about at the Bible study yesterday, let’s be good stewards with our time and make the most of this summer!! Please sign up for the following by clicking on the images.

Also, don’t forget to sign up for the discipleship retreats (we don’t have a fancy flyer). These are precious, life-changing times for Christians to spend with Pastor Ed, Kelly, and your peers up at Sierra Lodge for a time of training, vision-casting, relationship-deepening, and fun!

Multiply your talents is an awesome way to gain skills for our summer of servanthood!

In case you missed it, here’s the video we showed at this past Friday’s Bible Study. Words of wisdom from the graduating seniors, borne from many valuable experiences, lessons, regrets. Take their words to heart all you underclassmen!

That’s right, another semester is quickly coming to a close, and this Friday will be our last Koinonia Bible Study. Afterward, we’re headed to Maxwell Family Field for our final series of class competitions in various fun games and sports!

What? You don’t like sports? Hey, join us anyway. It’ll be a fun, refreshing time to be together outdoors and end the semester with a good time.

Night Market!!

If you didn’t come to Night Market this past Monday, you sure missed out on an amazing event!

Welcome week is notoriously boring, and we love remedying this age old problem! Last night Koinonia got together for a rousing time of games. We played Human Bingo – a game of bold claims!

Weekend of Happiness

This past Sunday was also the senior’s epic Graduation Sunday! The seniors superbly sang a sweet and sure-to-honor-God song (I just used alliteration, for those engineers out there who might have been befuddled at the presence of so many “s”s). Photo courtesy of Mike Chen. For me, I was impacted by the growth of these seniors as they [...]

Sierra Lodge Glory
