Koinonia Christian Campus Fellowship – UC Berkeley Club

This past weekend, the sophomores and juniors headed up to the Sierras for an awesome time of fun and fellowship at our very own Sierra Lodge! Check out the video recap! Awesome!

Friday night, we headed up to Sierra Lodge and had a great time of board games, basketball and King Kong Shower.

King Kong Shower Ridiculousness

But the highlight of the night was gathering at the gazebo to sing around the campfire! We roasted marshmallows, sang songs, and even had some people sing solos for the rest of us! Gathering around the campfire and singing songs just never gets old.

Saturday, we went on a quick hike to get out and see the beautiful nature around us.

The sophomores on the hike...

...and the juniors!

After hiking we went kayaking at Lake Spaulding! We rowed all the way across to the other side of the lake.

Well, most of us.

We told them not to take the rowboat...

...because we had to "rescue" them after!

The rest of us went over in our spiffy new pontoon boat.

It looks like a Disneyland ride!

We had lunch on the other side of the lake and climbed some cliffs to take this awesome picture.

A little bit too awesome..

Awesome picture!

After the tiring time of kayaking, there was no time for rest as we headed back to Sierra Lodge to play frisbee and basketball! We also had a rematch of the staff versus students basketball game from last time. Needless to say, the students won.

The Epic Staff vs. Students Game

After all of that physical activity, we dug in for dinner at the lodge. After dinner, it was time for everyone favorite game not named King Kong Shower….Ming Mang Mong! We had an epic final round of Ming Mang Mong, but when all was said and done, the sophomore guys prevailed! Good job!
(Sadly, everyone was too busy watching Ming Mang Mong to take any pictures. Use your imagination!)

The night wasn’t over yet. We broke up into groups afterwords to brainstorm ideas for Thanksgiving Celebration, and then we had to go up and present our ideas. Here were some of the better ones…

They want to see YOU at TC!

The level of shamelessness in the performances was inspiring. The sophomores and juniors will definitely be ready for TC when it comes around.

Join us next time!

This past Friday the Freshmen and Seniors met on their own for a Bible Study on John 4, the story of the Samaritan Woman, also known as the Woman at the Well. It was part 1 of 2, so be sure to join us next week for the conclusion!

Afterwards we went bowling. Check out this cool video for a recap:

And here are some more pictures from the night!

Join us next week for another exciting event!

P.S. – Anyone happen to know the high score for the evening?

This past week we also had our very first Koinonia Praise Night! We had a great time of worship, of being challenged by testimonies, and meeting a lot of new friends. Check out this video:

After Bible Study this past week, the upperclassmen went to Sierra Lodge, leaving some of their more studious peers behind, as well as the raucous freshman class. What, oh what, would the freshman class do?

Run around campus, of course, scavenging and finding different clues and neat spots on campus, and then taking silly pictures. I think the one above has something to do with chicken strips and fries (see the chickens on the left and the fries on the right?)…

Then there’s the picture with the squirrels…

Part of the scavenger hunt was video taping your team at a certain campus location. Here were a couple that were pretty darn funny as well as some accompanying commentary. Hope to see you next time!!
