Koinonia Christian Campus Fellowship – UC Berkeley Club

As we ended the first full week of school, we were all looking forward to two exciting events – Koinonia Welcome Night on Thursday and Game Night on Friday!

On Thursday, we gathered outside of 2050 VLSB on the lawn to eat a scrumptious dinner and broke up into smaller groups to get to know each other.

Afterward, we went inside and got to hear from Jenny, Lloyd, and Suzanne as they shared their different journeys with God.

Believe it or not, Welcome Week events have already passed by in a dizzying blur, and we are about to start our first full week of fall semester 2011! Whether it was our daily and rowdy game times during Koinonia Kream, delicious pizza and adrenaline-pumping ultimate frisbee on VLSB lawn, or the massively awesome showings of NSWN, everyone experienced the joy of forming relationships with new people. Here’s a brief recap of some of our events!

One of our most popular events hosted during Welcome Week was the Ultimate Frisbee and Pizza, where about 60 or so students gathered on the VLSB lawn to play ultimate frisbee, then satisfy their tiredness and hunger by feasting on delicious BBQ chicken pizza provided by Pepe’s Pizza.

Don’t be fooled, most of the time, the frisbees are flying ABOVE the ground! But even if they are rolling chaotically on the ground, it makes the game that much more exciting!

This past week’s BBQin’ did not end with the Korean BBQ after NSWN. We had an awesome BBQ at Dana House this past Wednesday. We had juicy patties, smokin’ franks, and sizzlin’ Korean marinated beef, not to mention, a raffle, prizes, and a giant round of King Kong Shower. Don’t believe me? Check out the pictures out for yourself!

Dana House was filled with people eating and having a good time.

You can't forget the meat!

Ultimate King Kong Shower Battle!

Hope all of you who were there had a blast! Stay posted for all the activities we’ll be having next week!

If you didn’t come to Night Market this past Monday, you sure missed out on an amazing event! There were so many people coming from every corner of the campus (evident by the dorm teams) at Barrows Courtyard trying out the free Asian foods in a pseudo-Night Market style.  One sophomore came 30 minutes early just to be able to get in early because she had such a blast last year!

Here are some pictures from the night!

It’s our beautiful banner that some of the juniors and sophomore girls made!

In the beginning when we first began!

Later just a section of Barrows Courtyard, we sit down to watch the battle of the dorms begin!

The whipped cream surprise for the hungriest challenge! (Note: a couple of us tried the bubble gum ball later and found that it was indeed bubble gum and totally doable though we didn’t try it with whipped cream!)

Overall, it was an amazing and very memorable night of fun & food! Don’t forget to join us for Koinonia Kickoff this Friday at 2050 VLSB! We’ll be having FREE boba!

I hope everyone’s first day of classes went well! Hopefully no one got lost and found themselves in the wrong room (that has definitely happened to me before!).

Well if you enjoyed any of our Welcome Week events, NSWN, or are just sitting there wondering what “Koinonia” means, then come to our Koinonia Kickoff! It’s this coming Friday, August 27, at 7:30 pm.

Just like NSWN, there will be live music, a new skit, a thought-provoking talk, fun games, and free boba! It’s all happening at 2050 VLSB (Valley Life Sciences Building).

Afterwards, we’ll also play exciting team games and sports at the Maxwell Family Field!

Come and bring your friends and floormates!
Hope to see you there!

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! Words cannot describe all that happened, but suffice it to say many strong impressions were made…images that have burned into our minds.  Here are some pictures from the night.
