Life Groups, Opportunities for Graduate Students, & A Free Dinner on Thursday || DCXA at GU (1/21/25)

I'm reading through the Book of Acts with my church this month, and I was struck by this passage this morning: 

After spending some time in Antioch, Paul went back through Galatia and Phrygia, visiting and strengthening all the believers. — Acts 18:23 (NLT)

It got me thinking: How can we strengthen each other's faith this week, even within our own Chi Alpha community? I'm sure there are more ways, but I thought of these few: praying for each other by name, refusing to gossip, speaking an encouraging word to a friend, or even treating someone to lunch. 

Let's be a community that loves each other well, because we were first loved!

Upcoming Events

Life Groups

It's not too late to join and prioritize growing in Christ together!  

Women: Tuesdays from 7:15pm-8:30pm at Tierra's

Men: Tuesday from 7pm-8:30pm at Tyler's

Graduate Student Opportunities 

→ Emmanuel is leading the Grad Student Connect Group at the Capital Campus and you can contact him to get information on time/location. They begin this week! 

→ Evan and I are gathering our main campus graduate students this Friday (1/24) for a free lunch from 12:30pm-1:30pm at the Tombs. 

This Week's Connect 

This Thursday, we are in McShain Small from 8pm-9pm and we'll provide a free dinner (Chipotle burritos!) as well as two discussion questions for our 'dinner and dialogue' event. The idea is that we'd create a space where our community (and our friends from around campus!) can connect relationally and in rich conversation. The questions will be along the line of 'what's a skill you've recently learned' or 'how have you grown as a person during your time in college'. The finalized questions will be on the screen and posted up around the room on Thursday! 

You can see our entire upcoming Connect schedule on IG!
