A message from Leslie McClain:

Meijer Madness is basically a time for students to buy last-minute school supplies and get free stuff in the process, but that description doesn't do it justice. There's karaoke, DDR, a rock wall, and countless other things to do, but more importantly, this is a chance for us as UCO to make connections with people on campus, invite them to UCO, and possibly even tell them how God has worked in our lives. My first introduction to UCO was at Meijer Madness my freshman year.  The genuineness of the people I met from UCO and their boldness and persistence in talking about faith encouraged me to stick around.

Meijer Madness runs from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am, with buses running from campus to Meijer every 10 minutes or so. It would be really great if a bunch of us could go and be bold in making those first connections. If you're interested in going, join us for some prayer beforehand at 8:30 pm at 716 Catherine Street. From there, we'll split up into smaller groups and head to the buses.

I may be biased, but I think this is an awesome opportunity to live out Christ's work and draw people in. Plus, we have an awful lot of fun doing it. Hope to see you there!

Actually it's not kickball, exactly.  It's a variation on big-base kickbal called "Mattball".  Here's a message from David Williamson:

 

This is going to be Epic.  If you weren’t sure how you were going to spend your Labor Day afternoon, I have solved your problem.  And this is even more than a kickball game.

The Details:

Oh yeah - bring it - a new year. Get to class, slacker!

This will be our first prayer meeting of the year together!  Join us as we start the year with a time of worship and seeking the Lord for the year, as well as sharings from different members, and encouragement.

Location:  Campus Chapel - yes! it's a new location...we're not in a basement anymore!

...and that goes for you too, EMU folks.  Hope you enjoyed that one extra day of vacation...

One of the most visible signs that U of M students are losing their minds diverse. There's a group out there for every cause, creed, and (nut)case. But we'll be out there too (we're not weird, we're just.. different). This is a great opportunity to talk to freshmen and other curious types, as well as get a bunch of free stuff from other groups. It's NOT a great opportunity to try to get to class on time.

Email me (jdhughes84@gmail.com) if you want to signup for a shift to get out there and talk to the newbies!

 

If you've ever been to one of these before, you know they are scarce to be missed... This year's theme is "Hillbilly Hoedown", or "Bluegrass Bash", or "Tennessee Shindig" featuring all the things listed below and more. Contact me (John) if you've got questions (734-972-4772, jdhughes84@gmail.com), or if you want to help in some way.

Our very own James Munk is going to give a talk about boldness and evangelism, to pump us up for the semester and all the outreach work the Lord has for us. We’ll also have a time of worship  and fellowship, and hopefully a time to share about the Lord’s work in our lives.  Bring a friend and come eager to hear from Him in this time!  

 Location: Campus Chapel

Join some guys for some sweet pickup soccer action on Palmer Field from 4-6.  

After our weekly time of worship and prayer, Mags Tierney will be giving a talk on "Doing radical things for Christ".  As one who has done many radical things for Him herself, she should have some great things to say. 

Location: Campus Chapel

There's a new UCO chapter starting up at Calvin college (woot!), and some of us are going to go along to help support them as they have their first prayer meeting.  If you're interested in going, let me (John) know - jdhughes84@gmail.com, and we can try to get you a ride.  Especially if you know some folks at Calvin and can invite them to the opening prayer meeting, it'd be great if you came.

Join with us to play Ultimate Cabbage (similar to Ultimate Frisbee), Whiffleball, and Capture the Flag! We will meet on the diag at 7 and conclude around 9 o'clock. Hope you can make it for some fun!!

Location:

This is the first in a series of formation talks on Christian Living. If you would like to attend, we encourage you to consider attending all of the talks in the series. Please contact Brian Laba () for more information.

Think battle - Think rotten tomatoes - Think darkness and woods - Think capture the flag, a bonfire, and good times. 

To properly prepare ourselves for the spiritual battle before us, we (the guys Men of UCO) will engage in a physical battle of epic proportions, involving darkness (metaphor?), backwoods, tomatoes, and a mild level of pain and physical exertion.

We'll meet up at 716 Catherine St , and head down to the battleground (west of Ann Arbor) to meet up with some other guys from UCO in Lansing. Then, capture the flag meets a half-ripened tomato to the face. TomatoWar08.

I keep wondering whether or not people like the Cornmaze, but then every time I mention the prospect of not doing it, I get angry emails from people that say we have to do it.  So it turns out people like it!  Anyway, I think we can sweeten the pot this year by having a bonfire afterwards.  More information on this is forthcoming, so stay posted!

Happy turkey day everyone!  Stretch those stomachs out (not to the point of gluttony, obviously), and enjoy some time with the family!  If you're not planning on going home, I can probably have some guests at my house, so let me know if you need a place to celebrate!

I expect to see some backyard-football bruises when you get back!
