College Group Update!

There will be no college group until August 15 when we relaunch it in a new location. I'm moving to a new house, so we will be doing it from there once I move in. Spread the word and see you then!

The new location is:

3644 Oakhurst Way

Dublin, CA 94568

Summer

So it's Summer and we're excited to have all the College students who are back home.  Last week week was packed!  There was such a fun feeling of the evening; the conversation was great, the video was cool, and the topic was compelling.  I'm really stoked about this summer and College Group.  

The past series of topics has been phenomenal.  Lets recap some of the issues we have discussed: 1) SOLD - Human trafficking 2) World Hunger - Feed My Starving Children 3) The Child Soldiers of Uganda - Invisible Children 4) KIVA - Micro-loans 5) Consumerism - TOMs Shoes

If you haven't been yet, make sure to come because it has been awesome!

So we need your help brainstorming what we want to talk about next.  Our hope for College Group is that each week is an engaging conversation about important subjects where any vantage point is welcomed.  If you could ask any question what would you ask?  If you could tell others about one thing what would it be?  Have you ever wondered about the Christian faith?  What are some issues college students face today?  

If you have any ideas on where to take the group - let us know, this is YOUR college group!

See you Monday!

Church

Last night was a really cool discussion on Church and our generations' heart for it.  I was really encouraged by our discussion.  If you want to read an article to further your discussion check this out -

See you next week for Kiva!

Nooma, Kiva, and Feed My starving Children

Hi everyone.

Last night was really cool. It was a tough conversation to have but good stuff came out of it. It's always hard to hear stories of such hardship and injustice. I was encouraged by our frustration and your broken hearts for those kids. Maybe we can do some thing.

If you want more info on the invisible children check out there site: invisible children 

On another note next week we'll be looking at a Nooma video, and the week after we'll be researching micro-loans and an organization called Kiva. If you want more info on them go here: Kiva

Lastly - It looks like we'll be volunteering for Feed My Starving Children on either June 4th or 5th. We'll keep you posted.

Wow, we're doing a lot of cool things at college group good job gang!

Nooma and Important Causes

Hi friends - right now we're alternating between important causes in our world and Nooma videos.  Come hang out for engaging discussion, challenging information, and snacks!

See you tonight!

Just a heads up to everyone, there is NO college group Monday April 13 on account of Easter and stuff. See you next week!
