Friday, May 27, 2011, 11:27 AM - Friday Meetings
Welcome to the end of week 9! Tomorrow night we're continuing our spring series on "Hard Questions," focusing this week on the topic of "Food & Faith". Our speaker this week is Rich Hagopian, senior pastor at Smokey Row Brethren Church, which by the way is the church that hosts the food pantry that many of you have served at over the past year. We're very glad to have Rich with us--please join us for a great discussion!
After the discussion, we'll do what seems especially appropriate this week: we'll head out for dinner together. To decide where, cast your vote at the Yahoo Dinner Poll.
When & Where: As usual, we'll meet at 6:30 pm at the Hale Center, Room 100-F.
Other Announcements:
CGSA Prays: A small group of us has been meeting at 6:00 before the Friday meeting to pray together, and we'll be doing that again tomorrow night. Please join us as we spend time in prayer for each other, the campus, the city and beyond.
No CGSA meeting next Friday: Because our end of the year party is happening the day after.
End of the year party: We'll be having our year-end party on Saturday, June 4 at the Trube's casa. The festivities will begin at 2:00, and they will also begin with "C", because that's the theme for this year's party--the letter C. All of the events will begin with C (consuming food, chatting, chuckling--and other more event-ish things that I can't think of c-words for at the moment); all of the foods will begin with C (there won't be hamburger, but there will be cooked meats; there will also be carrots and chips and all sorts of colorful __________s); strategies for winning whatever games there might be will also begin with C (e.g. colluding, cheating); and so on. It's going to be just really cool, so make sure you're there!

Afterwards, we'll head out for dinner at a nearby restaurant. Vote for your choice at the Yahoo Dinner Poll.
When & Where: As is our custom, we'll meet at 6:30 pm at the Hale Center, Room 100-F.

Walk for Economic Empowerment: The Walk is happening this Saturday morning, but it's not too late to help! For information about the Walk, check out its facebook page, and if you'd like to contribute to the CGSA fundraising effort, you can do so from here. All funds raised go to support Invest-Credit's important micro-finance ministry in Moldova.

This week at CGSA we'll have the next talk in our "Hard Questions" series, focusing on different questions connected to the person and work of the Holy Spirit. For example, we want to ask things like: What role does the Holy Spirit play in the life of a believer? How is this Holy Spirit different from one's conscience? Do we need the Holy Spirit to make good decisions? We're very excited to have Rae Whitlock, an elder at Grace Central Presbyterian Church, joining us to speak on these important questions. It should be a great discussion, please join us!
Afterwards, we'll head out for dinner at a nearby restaurant. Vote for your choice at the Yahoo Dinner Poll.
When & Where: Everything is back to normal this week--we'll meet at 6:30 pm at the Hale Center, Room 100-F.
Other Announcements:
CGSA Prays: Join us Friday at 6:00 pm before the meeting to pray together for personal needs, our campus, and the world! Some people choose to pray aloud, others prefer to pray silently--feel free to pray either way. Don't miss it!
Walk for Economic Empowerment: Just a couple weeks left before the Walk! We're still looking for walkers and still trying to raise more money to support Invest-Credit's important micro-finance ministry in Moldova. Kim Orleans is captaining the CGSA team, so feel free to talk to her for more information, and you can also find details on the Walk's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/W4EEColumbus.
That's all for now, friends, hope to see you tomorrow!

This week at CGSA we're delighted to have Pastor Greg Blosser joining us to give the next talk in our "Hard Questions" series. Greg is currently the pastor at Grace Central Presbyterian Church in the Short North, and he'll be speaking to us on the theme of sexuality. In particular, we'll be thinking about questions related to the meaning and expression of sexuality, particularly before marriage: for example, why did God make us sexual? How does He mean for us to express that? Big questions for sure, should make for great discussion. Please join us!
Afterwards, we'll head out for dinner at a nearby restaurant. Vote for your choice at the Yahoo Dinner Poll.
Location Change: This week we'll be meeting in a different room at the Hale Center--Room 145. When you walk in the front doors, take a left down the gallery hallway instead of walking to our normal room through the large auditorium space. When you get to the big statue, turn left and proceed down the hallway. At the end of the hallway you will make another left and room 145 should be there. (Even though the location is changing, we'll still start at 6:30 pm.)
Other Announcements:
CGSA Prays: Join us Friday at 6:00 pm before the meeting to pray together for personal needs, our campus, and the world! Some people choose to pray aloud, others prefer to pray silently--feel free to pray either way. Don't miss it!
Walk for Economic Empowerment: The Walk is coming up later this month (!), so it's time to get involved. There is still a need for walkers, help with fundraising and more, so if you can help at all, there's a place for you! All the money we raise goes directly to Invest-Credit's micro-finance work in Moldova, and the loans that the organization gives out really do have a positive impact on people's lives. Kim Orleans is captaining the CGSA team, so feel free to talk to her for more information, and you can also find details on the Walk's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/W4EEColumbus.
