3) Spiritual Wellness Common Meal - Weds 4/18 7pm - Earl Hall
To explore this issue further, the Office of the University Chaplain, in conjunction with the Student Wellness Project, will be having a Common Meal on Wednesday, April 18th, from 7-9PM in the Earl Hall Auditorium, to discuss spiritual health on the Columbia Campus. Yes, that means free food! (There will be Kosher friendly, vegan options)
The goal of the Common Meal is to facilitate intimate discussions that allow students to open up about their concerns regarding personal faith and religion on the campus, and how these forces impact their lives. Check the Facebook event for more info.
This might be a good way to listen to other people’s opinions on faith and religion on campus and share your own perspective about Jesus and faith.
4) “BURN”- worship and prayer sessions through April
The Burn is diverse in expression, non-denominational in affiliation, simple in focus, and missional in practice. Burn “furnaces” host monthly, weekly or sometimes daily sessions of unending worship, prayer and adoration that can last anywhere from about 4 or 6 hours up to 100 hours nonstop. Various worship and prayer teams take 2 hour shifts as the ‘watchmen on the walls.’
The worship team is not trying to lead the group in worship, they are worshiping as if no one else is in the room. With that being said, if you would like to sing along with the worship team, feel free. It is basically a time where you can come before the feet of Jesus in an atmosphere of adoration to Jesus!
The roster:
**check the inter-fellowship facebook group for changes to the schedule**
4/23: 8pm-midnight John Jay Lounge
4/30: 8pm-midnight John Jay Lounge.
5) Outreach: Rampin’ Up Conversation, Thursdays 12pm - 1:30pm
Veritas is bringing back the “Rampin’ Up Conversation” outreach on the Lerner ramps every Thursday from 12PM-1:30PM. We have a different question that we ask and then attempt to use that as a jumping point to further conversation. This outreach is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and with with people about what really matters. This is also an intentional inter-fellowship effort, we really want to have this be a time when we can come together and serve God with our brothers and sisters from Columbia’s many different fellowships. More info on Interfellowship Facebook group (see James Lin’s post)

9) Academy for Christian Thought- Canonization: How the Bible Came to Be
If the Christian faith is based on the trustworthiness of the Bible, then the veracity and integrity of the Biblical message must withstand the challenges of thoughtful skepticism. Please join the Academy for Christian Thought in our Thinking Things Through seminar where we discuss 5 crucially important questions about how the Bible came to be. These classes are available starting this month through 2012. Registration and information is available here, and there’s a discount.
“It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder against them from heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strengh to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.” - 1 Samuel 2:10
