Don’t delay in signing up! Beautiful Santa Cruz, great food, memorable fellowship, thought-provoking messages, and most importantly… connecting with God. Make sure to start off the new year 2011 right. It’s only $100 if you pay before Dec. 31, a huge bargain considering this covers 8 meals and lodging!
Hey everyone! What a packed semester! If you could not make it for bible study on Thursday, we showed an end of the semester slideshow. Just in case you missed it or would like to see it again, here it is! Enjoy! Check again soon for another video.
Hey Koinonia! To keep you encouraged throughout finals, we’ve got a great lineup this week! First, we hope you will be able to join us for Bible study this Thursday. We will be meeting at Arballo House at 6:30pm starting with a hearty dinner. Afterwards, we will be going over to watch Narnia! If you are done with finals, we invite you to join us to watch the exciting and deeply meaningful third installment of the Chronicles of Narnia, which is entitled ”The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”
=====We interrupt this blog post for a VERY IMPORTANT announcement. COLLEGE WINTER RETREAT is coming up sooner than you think, and it’s time to sign up. Go to the webpage www.gracepointonline.org/signups. The retreat goes from SAT Jan. 15 – MON Jan. 17 and will be at Mt. Hermon in Santa Cruz, so please plan your winter vacation accordingly. For cost, it’s an astounding deal of $100 (early bird special) to cover for 8 meals and lodging! So please be sure to give your payment to your staff (checks made out to “Gracepoint”). This retreat is the spiritual highlight of the year, and we encourage all of you to come join us. If you miss this retreat, you will be kicking yourself. So don’t miss it!!!!!!======
Now back to our regularly scheduled blog post… On Friday, we will be going over somewhere for ice skating! Don’t miss out on the fun and the falls (first-timers, don’t be intimidated, ice skating is fun and easy… most of the time). On Sunday, we’ll be back in Berkeley for Sunday Worship Service, so if you’re still around because you got that last annoying Monday final, join us!
Merry Christmas Koinonia! Good luck on all your finals!

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la. Christmas is almost here, so it’s time that we venture back more than 2,000 years ago to that incredible event in history… the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s what the season is all about! But if that hurts your head to go that far back, let’s recap the events of last week. Last Friday, we had our super crazy Christmas Gift Exchange featuring gifts like blankets, plungers, toolsets, Santa outfits, and more. If you ask me, it sure didn’t look like spirit of Christmas as people were viciously challenging each other and plundering goodies. Thankfully, Robin Hood came to the rescue and restored order. Or did it?
Contrary to our previous announcement of Bible study and ice skating, this Friday, we will be joining Berkeley for a special service entitled, “The Christmas Story.” We will be leaving at 6:15pm from the dorm stop. But don’t cry! Next week we will have our time for ice skating =)
