Spring Semester topic: Set Apart-The Upstream Christian in a Downstream World

dave — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:05:39 +0000

Our weekly meetings this spring will be held on Friday nights at 7:00 pm in the Bluestone Room of the Mountainlair unless otherwise indicated. A few weeks we will need to change nights or location due to scheduling conflicts. Typical meetings will consist of a song or two, announcements, and a Bible study, followed by optional “Power Groups” for those who want to stay. ”Power Groups” are small groups led by our student leaders that focus on discussion of the Word and prayer each week. There will also be an activity each week following the regular meeting (see the activity schedule posted on this site).

Our topic for the semester is “Set Apart: The Upstream Christian in a Downstream World.” The study will begin with a focus on the holiness of God. Subsequent studies will delve into implications of His holiness, including, the Gospel, sanctification, and separation from the world. We will spend a number of weeks discussing how to live a life that is separated from the world by using Biblical principles to determine right from wrong in “grey areas.” All Christians struggle from time to time with knowing right from wrong in areas not directly addressed in the Bible. We hope our study this semester will give guidance in making decisions in these areas. We hope you can join us this semester!

Free Meals on Wednesdays!

dave — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:40:05 +0000

Campus Light Ministries and Faith Baptist Church will once again be sponsoring free dinners for students on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm at Faith Baptist Church (809 Greenbag Road in Morgantown). Most weeks the menu will consist of home-cooked meals by the ladies of Faith Baptist. Once a month Campus Light will be responsible ourselves for the menu. We might have pizza or we might try to make it ourselves! At any rate, all students are invited each week.

Immediately following the meal each week at 7:00 pm there will be a college Bible study for all students separate from the regular Wednesday night service.
