Chi Alpha @ Stanford

Chi Alpha is spon­sor­ing a mis­sions sum­mit up in Port­land, Ore­gon from Nov 14–16.

If you have any level of desire to touch the world with the gospel, this event is for you!

You can learn more at the West Coast Mis­sions Sum­mit page.

The early-bird reg­is­tra­tion dead­line is this Fri­day (Halloween).

Tonight at Chi Alpha Paula Davis will be speak­ing about one of the most famous sto­ries in all of the Bible: the story of the woman caught com­mit­ting adul­tery.

This is a story we can all relate to, with its themes of guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

FYI: this mes­sage is in our con­tin­u­ing series of teach­ings exam­in­ing the ques­tions that Jesus asked peo­ple 2,000 years ago and still asks each of us today. Tonight we’ll focus in on the ques­tion he asked at the end of the story: “Where Are Your Accusers?”

As always, we’re in 300–300 at 8pm.

Would you like to develop mean­ing­ful friend­ships?
Would you like to have can­did dis­cus­sions about God?
Would you like to learn more about the Bible?

Then we have a deal for you! Chi Alpha spon­sors weekly Bible dis­cus­sion groups (also known as small groups, cell groups, Bible stud­ies, and fel­low­ship groups: it’s not what’s on the label but what’s in the bot­tle that counts).

Our small group Bible stud­ies are weekly gath­er­ings of stu­dents who meet to dis­cuss the Bible and its ram­i­fi­ca­tions. Whether you’re a die-hard skep­tic or a dyed-in-the-wool fun­da­men­tal­ist or any­thing in-between (which is more likely), you’ll feel at home!

This quar­ter we’re offer­ing 2 Bible studies:

• “The Book of James” Tues­day 7:30–9:30pm, Otero 105 (Wilbur Hall)
• “The Book of Judges” Thurs­day 7-9pm, Crothers Memo­r­ial #508

If you’d like more info on any of those, call 650–380-0897 or email chialpha@stanford.edu.

For the first month of school Chi Alpha is spon­sor­ing a church tour. This week we’ll be vis­it­ing Fam­ily Com­mu­nity Church in San Jose. It’s a cool church. In fact, it was named the best church in Sil­i­con Val­ley by the San Jose Mer­cury News! I’m not sure what a news­pa­per knows about churches, but that’s still a pretty cool fact.

FCC is a young, ener­getic, and prac­ti­cal church that I think you’ll really res­onate with. Spe­cial bonus: this church has both Sat­ur­day evening and Sun­day morn­ing ser­vices. If you find your­self sleep­ing in on Sun­day morn­ings (and miss­ing church as a result), this just might be the solu­tion you’ve been look­ing for!

Our ren­dezvous times will be 4:00pm Sat­ur­day and 10:15am Sun­day at the Tresid­der bus stop.

If you want to come along please email or call us and let us know (our info is on the page at the bottom).

Oh yeah–dress for church is casual.
