We, along with some other ministries on campus, hosted Dr. Francis Collins (head of the National Human Genome Research Institute and author of the NY Times bestseller The Language of God). He lectured on the relationship between science and religion.

Cookies, candies, chocolate… who can wait until Halloween?
Come induldge yourself before our first worship service of the Fall Quarter. Sugar-loaded snacks will be served from 7:30 until 8:00, at which point our regular meeting will begin. If you’re planning to join us, let us know on the Facebook.
Our meetings begin with musical worship which is followed by Bible teaching. This week we’ll be talking about what it takes to keep a high spiritual GPA at Stanford. The meeting will run from 8:00pm to 9:30pm leaving you plenty of time to get back for your house meeting.
Oh, and there will be healthy alternatives for the non-sugar addicted.
UPDATE: Even Google is excited about our party:

Superbowl 39: Patriots vs Eagles
Party at Glen & Paula’s place.
The game begins at 3:30. You can show up then or you can arrive around 1:00 for some major Halo 2 action.
Snacks and supper will be provided.
Maybe you like sports, maybe you hate sports. You like us, and that’s all that matters. There will be lots of things for people to do who couldn’t give a rip about football so come and celebrate (in fact,non-football likers are in the majority)!
Contact me if you need a ride.
Quick reminder–the meeting for this Wednesday has been changed.
Instead of an on-campus worship celebration we’re having a party at our place. Email or call if you need directions or a ride.
Want to do something that will make the world a better place?
If you’re like most college students you don’t have much money to give, but you do have a tremendously valuable resource–idle CPU cycles.
In-between typing the letters that will comprise the words that will compose the paragraphs that will be your honors thesis you can be solving pressing scientific problems that could lead to breakthroughs in cancer, AIDS, SARS, malaria, and many other tragic conditions.
All you need to do is visit http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/, register as a user, and download their small, unobtrusive software.
Once you’ve done that feel free to join our Chi Alpha grid team. That way we all work together and at the same time bear witness to Christ’s love.
But whether you join the team or not, download the software. What do you have to lose except the minute it will take you to install it?
Tuesday November 9 at 7:30pm prepare for a Halo 2 steel-cage deathmatch at the Davis House! Email or call Glen if you intend to come. We’ll be using a data projector so the image will be huge, we’ll be ordering pizza, and awarding prizes.
Chi Alpha in Stockton is sponsoring a conference called Vertical Revolution.

Summer Bible studies are Thursdays from 12:30pm to 1:30pm in the second floor lounge of Tresidder.
We’ll be taking a look at the life of David.
David will be interesting because he’s such a study in contrasts:
Anyway, come join us as we delve into David’s life story!
Last night (June 1) was the final meeting of the 2003-2004 school year. Details on summer meetings will be posted shortly.
Until then, don’t show up.
