Chi Alpha @ Stanford

We’re tak­ing a group up to the Expe­ri­ence Pas­sion Wor­ship Tour in Sacra­mento this Thursday.

Chris Tom­lin, the Dave Crow­der Band, and Louie Giglio are going to be pre­sent­ing Passion’s core mes­sage of God’s glory.

If you’d like to come along, email us and let us know!

Tick­ets are $23 apiece and you’ll need to get your own. You can either pay at the door or get them online in advance.

We’ll meet at the Tresid­der Bol­lards (those short funky pil­lars next to the bus stop in front of Tresid­der) at 3:50pm and drive up to Sacra­mento together. The ride will be about 2.5 hours and the event starts at 7:00pm.

By the way, you may have noticed the new RSS Feeds item on the menu bar above. If you use an RSS aggre­ga­tor we offer both RSS 2.0 and 0.91 feeds. If you don’t know what RSS is, check out Lockergnome’s RSS Quick Start guide. Just another way we try to make your life a lit­tle easier…

Because there are many new stu­dents who are seek­ing a church in the area, Chi Alpha is orga­niz­ing a series of church tours (we are not lim­it­ing par­tic­i­pa­tion to Chi Alpha mem­bers only). Below is a list of churches for which there are rides avail­able. Please email the con­tact peo­ple listed if you are inter­ested in check­ing out the church.

Feel free to for­ward this mail to other stu­dents or stu­dent groups. If you want to vol­un­teer in bring­ing stu­dents to your church, feel free to email Glen Davis or myself Shaowei Lin with the fol­low­ing information:

Just a reminder that we’re hav­ing our first meet­ing tomor­row night at 8pm in room 300–300 (map).

If you’re a new stu­dent you might be won­der­ing what the pro­to­col is for com­ing. It’s very simple–you just show up. You don’t need to bring any­thing or do any­thing spe­cial. You might want to grab a friend and bring them with you so that you’ll have some­one there that you know, but even if you don’t you’ll meet lots of people.

Also, we’ve got our new posters avail­able for down­load. Please print one off and stick it on your door. Peo­ple will notice! Get them from our gallery.

Curi­ous about Chi Alpha? Check out this video of stu­dent per­spec­tives on our group:

There’s a higher-resolution ver­sion avail­able in Win­dows Media for­mat: left-click to play, right click to down­load, 7 MB.

Welcome–I hope you had a good jour­ney to get here!

If you’re check­ing out our web­site for the first time, two links you might want to hit are our tips for fresh­men and the story of one of the sopho­mores in our group.

Also, I just ran across an arti­cle talk­ing about Alpha course, which is one of the events we’ll be run­ning this quar­ter. Just thought you might find it interesting.

Enjoy Stan­ford!

Our pres­i­dent, Shaowei Lin, will be speak­ing this Fri­day (Sep 19) at 8:00pm in Toyun Lounge.

In his own words: I will be shar­ing on the topic “Is there a God? — My expe­ri­ence in know­ing Him.” I will basi­cally be touch­ing on the ques­tion of whether in this sci­en­tific age, one can seri­ously still believe that there is a God. Also, I will be shar­ing about my dream in July 2000 where God told me that He exists.

It will be an infor­mal shar­ing ses­sion, and some­thing that I wanted to do for a long time. Know­ing God and find­ing out about Jesus has been the most life-transforming expe­ri­ence to me ever. I hope that this shar­ing ses­sion will be of inter­est to those of you who have been won­der­ing about this same ques­tion for a while. Feel free to come with ques­tions, I will try to answer the ques­tions to the best of my ability.
