Recap: Combined IGSM & Praxis Outing (4/20/13)

This weekend we went on a fun getaway with our IGSM group to beautiful Lake Tahoe. Our Praxis (post-graduate) group at church joined along to make it an even fuller outing (both with people and great food).

We started the night at a large house, filling ourselves with ramen and great conversation around the fire.

The next day we went on a short hike overlooking Spooner Lake.  We enjoyed the beautiful view of both Spooner Lake and Lake Tahoe.

The highlight of our trip was stopping at Sand Harbor, right on Lake Tahoe.  We had a nice lunch and took turns riding on kayaks, some for the first time.

We ended with a fun kayak race with 5 teams.  Our strong sisters took second place competing against 4 brothers teams.

IGSM Bible Study (3/22): The Last One for the Winter Quarter!

picture-11

This Friday is our last Bible study of the Winter quarter. For those who are having final exams this week, hang in there! Instead of meeting at 3001 PES, we will meet at Ming and Linda’s place all together. We will start with a dinner together as usual. Then we will learn about who Jesus is from the Gospel of John. Also through this Bible study, we will learn from Jesus what it means to love others. This Bible study will be an especially meaningful one as we are entering into Passion Week and Good Friday next week. These are the most important days in the Christian calendar.  And of course, we will end with a good time of fellowship together. So please join us this Friday!

Where: Ming/Linda’s place

Time: 7 PM, starting with a simply dinner

Pick up Time/Spot for Rides: 6:30 PM at Silo Parking Lot

Special Event: Church-wide Brothers and Sisters Night!!! (Tonight!)

This Friday (which is today!!!), we’re going to have be having church-wide separate Brothers and Sisters Bible Studies, starting at 7pm.

SISTERS: You will be joining all of the other sisters from our College & Praxis Department at our “607″ Church building for a personally engaging bible study, yummy dinner and heart-warming time of fellowship.

BROTHERS: We will be joining the other bros from our College & Praxis Department at the Davis High School for a manly BBQ dinner, followed by an awesome but challenging Bible Study, and…..a 4-on-4 Basketball tournament! That’s right! So….bring your basketball clothes if you plan on doing battle on the basketball court.

Pick-ups will be at the SILO parking lot. For sisters, it will be at 6:30, and for brothers, it will be at 6 PM. Mark the time difference!

PLEASE let Ming know (or let your staff know) if you need a ride from SILO so that we can send enough cars. You don’t want to miss out this Friday! As always, email me if you have any questions.

See you there!

IGSM_HG_splash

Hi IGSMers. This Friday, we are headed back to the homes for our Bible studies! We will start by sharing a meal together, learn about Jesus as we continue our “Who is this Jesus” message series in the Gospel of John, and wrap up the evening with some fun, chill, and “homey” time (or “not-so-homey” but “still really fun time” should we decide to explore somewhere outside of Davis after the Bible study)!

You should have been contacted by the respective HG1 and HG2 staff already. If you haven’t been contacted by one of the HG leads and want to join us, please contact us ASAP at: igsm@ucdavis.edu, or call us at: 530-746-8483.

By the way, here are some pics of what we did last time we met at home on 2/1 :)
