Fwd: Family Time + THEOLOGY PUB + Worship + ACTION WEEK + more!

Hunger and Homelessness Action Week is only one week away, there are LOTS of exciting events that will be happening.  Why do we bother putting all this time and effort into this event?  It's about people the way God cares about people...about recognizing that people are of value because they exist.  It's about praying with our bodies and our actions that God's kingdom breaks through into our everyday lives.  Won't you join in this?  Explore what actions you can take to share God's overflowing love with people who oftentimes may feel forgotten...

BIBLE STUDY: "Family Time" exploring what it means to be a community in Christ: relationships, struggles, etc. from the one-on-one level to the global level.  **Mondays 6pm-7pm** at Emma's dorm in Eastern Shore (the new dorms at the northeast corner of Patriot Circle).  Call Emma at 443-621-7387 with questions.  (Facebook event.)

THEOLOGY PUB:  This Tuesday, we'll gather at the RATHSKELLER in the lower level of SUB1 to eat, drink, and talk about God, faith, religion, and how they intersect life in our world.  This is a safe, open conversation.  ALL are welcome, so bring a friend, order yourself dinner, and join in the conversation!  5:15pm on these Tuesdays: 11/10/2009 and 12/1/2009. (Facebook event.)

747 CREATIVE CHRISTIAN WORSHIP:  This week we'll be in SUB1 ***Patriots' Lounge*** on the blue couches -- having our worship in very public space.  How does worshiping in a more visible space make us think about how our community relates to those beyond our community?  Come and share your thoughts!  EVERYONE is welcome, and everyone's voice matters -- so bring a friend.  Co-sponsored with United College Ministries.  Every Wedndesday at 7:47pm.  Complete room schedule at http://GMU747.org -- Facebook group: GMU747.  (Facebook event.)

SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP:  If you'd like a ride, just email or call/text 703-829-0220 (by 8pm Saturday).  Leave a phone number so I can reach you. (--Ben)

HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS ACTION WEEK:  November 15-21 is the GMU Campus Ministry Association's annual Action Week to bring the campus community together to learn about hunger and homelessness and what can be done to alleviate these issues.  Let me know if you'd like to help.  http://ActionWeek.org -- Invite your friends to join the Facebook group.

THANKSGIVING POTLUCK:  If you, or a friend, aren't going home to be with family for Thanksgiving, we invite you to spend it with us!  Kriss and Ben will host a Thanksgiving potluck dinner at their home a couple miles south of campus.  (Facebook event.)

Urgent Volunteer Opportunity at Hope Lutheran:  Watch kids (mostly under 3 years old) while their mothers attend ESL classes in the next room.  They really need someone on Tuesday evenings 7-9pm.  Let us know if you are interested and we'll put you in touch with the person at Hope who is coordinating this.  Start tomorrow morning if you want!  (One time or recurring.)

Hey God, it's us again, thanking you for each day and pleading that we feel called to a direction that gives meaning to our lives. Guide us, and help us to share your revolutionary love with all we encounter.  For the sake of your son Jesus the Christ, AMEN.

Grace and peace,
Ben
