IGSM San Francisco Trip

This past weekend was the perfect day to go hang out in the Golden city of San Francisco. We started off the day by sightseeing at Pier 39. You can’t tell, but we are sitting/ standing on a sculpture of three seals.  I’m not sure if you can tell, but it was a clear day with blue sunny skies.

Then we headed over to Chinatown for some yummy dim sum including shrimp dumplings, crispy fried taro dumplings, and much more food. We then drove down Lombard Street, the crookedest street in San Fransisco and then to the Palace of Fine Arts.

Notice the Roman architecture. It’s so surprising to find this in the urban city. Lastly no trip is complete without seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. I’m not sure what the guys are looking at.

Recap: 2011 IGSM Retreat

retreat13Early in the Winter Quarter, we headed to the  Sierra  area  to spend a weekend to learn about God. Pastor William from Gracepoint Berkeley spoke from his heart about God’s existence and our need for God in five passionate messages. We sang praise songs in both Chinese and English and heard many sharings from students about how they became Christian and different lessons learned about life after becoming a Christian. We spent a lot of time eating together, playing in the snow, and playing indoor games as well. If you missed it, I hope that you can join us next year. Special thanks to IGSM Berkeley for organizing the entire weekend for us and to Pastor William.
