Friday, September 26, 2008, 11:24 AM - Friday Meetings
Our topic for this quarter will be prayer, how to pray, what to pray, when to pray, who should/can pray for us, and why we should pray. Prayer is so central to the Christian life - it is the way we talk with God our Father. Bob Trube will be introducing this topic, and all are welcome to attend.
Bob Trube is a full time veteran Intervarsity Staff mentor, and friend and mentor for many years to this group, and for a shorter time to me personally. He has spoken for CGSA many times, helped with organization, and centered our mission in prayer and focus on God. He is currently one of the organizers for Following Christ 2008 this Winter in Chicago( http://www.intervarsity.org/gfm/ to find out more and to register if interested).
The Meetings begin around 6:30 PM on Fridays. Typically there are people here before, and we talk and catch up with each other's weeks and lives until about 6:50 PM. At that time, we come together, the meeting is introduced, and we worship by singing songs. Then we open in prayer, and the speaker is introduced. After he is done talking (typically 8:00 to 8:30 PM) there are announcements, another song of worship, and then a closing prayer. Then all who wish normally go out to eat at a place chosen by a poll (sign up to the Yahoo group on osu-cgsa.org to see the polls in the future).
This Meeting, a few things will be different: between the introduction to the meeting and the worship songs, there will be an ice breaker, and before announcements, a chance for all our small groups to be introduced. Small groups are an important and substantial way many people get involved with CGSA. Finally, after the meeting, Bob will close us in prayer, and we will be eating at Royer. Food will be graciously provided by members of Bob Trube's church, Smoky Row Brethren Church, and we are all guests to enjoy the food, and to stay and get to know each other better.
Location: Our meetings are at 6:30 pm in the Royer Student Activity Center. You can find it on the campus map at www.osu.edu/map/ Royer is located next to Jones Graduate Tower. Go into the building through the left of the two front entrances. At the top of the steps you will see a room to your right. That's where we'll be.
