A few notes...
We need to get our CGS signs up before Spring Break, as well as get more XA signs up in the public posting places. We have extras, and they don't do much good sitting at the book table. If you have office hours, take a few of each and post them in the proper areas or on your dorm lobby bulletin boards.
Speaking of CGS, it's a blast and I'm having fun in my element, but I'd love to see more of you there. Wednesdays at 4 and 6. It's more important than you think.
I've started talking to a few of you about finding time to hang out and talk with each person in XA. Let me know what times work for you.
Missionaries - We support several missionaries around the world on a monthly basis, from Duluth to Armenia. Chi Alpha itself is a missions extension, we exist to build a community of faith here on campus. That said, we need your help. If each person who calls Chi Alpha their home would donate $1 a week, we could cover our pledges for all our missionaries. Yes, I'm asking for money. No, I'm not taking a single penny of it. Yes, our money goes exactly where it is intended, to missionaries around the world. Part of developing an authentic Christian worldview is learning to live beyond ourselves. Giving to missions is a great way to start that process.
Reach the U - Information is available every week at the info table and book table in the concourse. The national office has agreed to scholarship students on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to experience one of the most powerful conferences you'll ever attend, develop leadership skills for student level-campus ministry, hang out with Chi Alphans from around the country and/or road trip with me to Springfield, Missouri, pick up a pamphlet and let me know you're interested as soon as possible, so I can contact the national office.
NO XA 19 March, for Spring Break. XA reconvenes on 26 March.
Leadership Retreat, XA Bowl-a-rama, Summer XA plans all forthcoming. I love you all. Happy Thursday!
