Worldview Camp!

Hey everyone, wanted to get the word out on our upcoming Worldview Camp.  If you’ll be around during the summer, you don’t want to miss this!

The Worldview Camp has become an annual tradition here at Gracepoint Fellowship Church. It has been designed to train and equip the minds of college students in important topics, such as:

• Abortion 
• Euthanasia
• Science and faith
• Sexual Ethics
• and much, much more

This year, Sean McDowell will come as the guest speaker.  If you’d like to attend, be sure to sign up by May 15 at our sign-up page

Last Friday: Cordonices Park

Instead of bowling after Bible Study/GTS, all of Kairos headed up north in Berkeley to Cordonices Park. We slid down the steep stone slide (on a piece of cardboard), played frisbee (glow in the dark), explored a dark tunnel, and had awesome snacks. Here’s a video recap of the slide, with our leader Tim performing a perfect dismount, Kairos lead, Sue Yi, having second thoughts going down the slide, and… the “marshmallow middle”!

Pics: Easter Sunday & G-Live

Easter Sunday (4/12/09) was an amazing time of remembering and celebrating what Jesus had done on the cross for us. We had an awesome praise time, monologue by Josh, message, and a special time of mini reflections (one of which given by our very own Tim), and some more awesome praise. Here’s a recap in pictures.

Special G-Live pic. I stumbled upon this image recently. It’s Kevin! And who can forget his lines in the skit… one of them being, “I’m going to cook and clean my way into your heart!” Great job, Kevin!

G-Live 2009 was a Success!

Thanks for all those that came out to support Gracepoint Fellowship Church’s theatrical production… GLive ’09: Undo. It was amazing that 1900+ people (not including our members) came to watch the production over the span of 3 showtimes. I hope that many people could relate to the characters and situations portrayed in the skits, cause them to think about their own lives, and ultimately have an enjoyable and memorable experience. I think I can speak for all the people that worked behind the scenes that we all had an awesome time putting it together, all for the sake of sharing the Gospel in an exciting and relevant way!

Please share your comments about the show by posting a reply! I will leave you with the intro video to G-Live, which was shown at the beginning of the event to kick-start the time. People are still taking about it! Gonna have to watch it several times to catch everything.

Action-Packed Saturday!

UPDATE: For the brothers, we’ve unfortunately canceled the Saturday outing. However, we’ll still be getting together.

We’re going to Val’s (a great mom & pop burger place!) in Castro Valley, then heading back to Alameda for some time of sports/studying. You decide. So come and hang out with us!

We’ve talked about it… and now the time is finally here! This Saturday (3/14) all the Kairos guys will be getting together to go to Santa Cruz (Mt. Hermon) for a time of adventure and fun. We’re going to be going on a ropes course and do some indoor rock climbing. There will also be time of football and frisbee, too. If that’s not enough, we’re going to end the day at the beach with a bonfire and awesome food. So you missed out last beach trip? No fret, this will be the ultimate relaxation day, after your midterms!

My thesis project and school work has been pretty intense thus far, so you’ll definitely see me there to unwind and de-stress!

V-Day of Compassion Recap

Kairos 4 had an awesome and blessed time joining with Kairos 2 to go to the Henry Robinson Multi Service Center last Saturday for Valentine’s Day. We had the opportunity to meet a lot of adults and children of various ages there. We “got down” by singing and dancing led by Johnny (K2) and his dance troupe (Cristina, Ryan, and Lin), heard a poignant message by Abe (K2), made bead jewelry, played the cup stacking game and the ever-popular King Kong Shower.

Afterwards, all the Kairos got together at Tim’s place for dinner, then off to ALameda High gym for some sports fellowship. The sisters got together likewise for a time of fun at Northloop.

Here are some photos of our VDay prep and evening wind-down:

Welcome to our brothers’ wind-down time…

Can’t forget about the sisters’ time-o-fun, too!

Hope to see y’all help out again next year!

Post-Craig Hazen Talk… Boba!

Some pics from after the Craig Hazen talk last Friday.

Hmm… Tim doesn’t look happy with his boba. You shoulda had what Ron or Rich Yen was having!

This Friday: Valentine’s Bible Study

Hope you guys are all looking forward to the weekend….3-day weekend!  Whoohoo!  I’m excited about Saturday’s Valentine’s Day of Compassion event, but before that, we’ll have a special Valentine’s Bible Study on Friday.

Meet us for dinner beforehand at the YWCA (2nd floor, ring the white doorbell of front door is locked) @ 6pm sharp, we’ll then all head off together to First Presbyterian Church on Channing and Dana street for a combined fellowship Bible Study at 7:00PM (the rest of Kairos, A2F, and Koinonia will be there!).  UPDATE: GTS courses will begin next week.

Hope to see you there!
