Frisbee and yogurt after home worship

2747405744 3bcd77af26 Frisbee and yogurt after home worshipLast week, we enjoyed our International Student Ministry home worship service of Gracepoint Berkeley. We listened to Del Tackett’s lesson on theology, “Who Is God?” And he challenged us all to be theologians, people who study God, and we can do it through the Bible. We might even be able to say like him in the future, “I love El Qanna”. (which means jealous God)

Afterward, we played a round of ultimate frisbee with both home churches–yes, the Alameda folks actually drove out for the festivities. The team with Jon Yen won–he is a force of nature–but it was a close 5-4 game, and it was a load of fun. We hope to do this regularly. And after running around, we then went out to Yogurtland for customized and yummy frozen yogurt. icon smile Frisbee and yogurt after home worship

Join us this week for Week 5 of the Truth Project and a sweet time of fellowship after! 10:30am, usual time and place.

Home worship time change to 10:30am

 Home worship time change to 10:30am One older member of our church once said, “if you can find us, you can worship with us”. Well, that’s the case here again. We’re changing our time to 10:30am because 10 was just too early for some people. A little later, but that means that we can still have lunch on time and enjoy an afternoon of fellowship with one another. icon smile Home worship time change to 10:30am

Join us for home church starting this Sunday

We are excited to announce our new plans for the summer! On Friday nights, we will no longer have Friday Forum. Instead, we’ll join Gracepoint Fellowship Church Berkeley for a combined large group Bible study and MYT (“Multiply Your Talents”) training.

ttplogosmall Join us for home church starting this SundayBut what about having a cozier, ISM gathering? Glad you asked. We’re doing that on Sundays now. Instead of a large Sunday service, we will be meeting in homes so that we can have an unhurried time where people can get to know one another more deeply and have a chance to interact based upon what we covered in worship service that day. And then, we can eat together, laugh together, and play together as well. I promise that this will be a great time.

I am particularly excited about the curriculum we will be covering, called the Truth Project. The material is very good, and will give you the tools to think very closely about the Bible, God, yourself, culture, and the world around us. I really think you will find this material to be both timely and profound.

Our home churches meet at 11AM on Sunday (5/31). We have two locations, Alameda (HC1) at Chul and Sharon’s, and Berkeley (HC2) at Dana House (2440 Dana St., Berkeley, 94704). If you aren’t sure which to attend, please contact an ISM staff or member for more details. Look forward to seeing you!
