Agape Happenings
Alison Shelly
Hey there friends,
It's that time again for the weekly email!
You guys know the drill by now... keep on reading below to get the
scoop on what's happening in Agape this week! There aren't too many weeks left in this semester... why not stop by Agape before the semester's
over? We'd love to have you :)
Agape will be meeting this Thursday at 7:30 as always in 444 Curry Student Center. This week as Easter is approaching Agape will take some time to evaluate the resurrection. How does Jesus dying and rising 2,000 years ago affect life today? Why was the resurrection required? We'll be spending time in worship, as well as evaluating what in our own lives we need to crucify. Please join us this week as we begin preparing for Easter and celebrating Christ's resurrection.
Thursday Night Planning Team - Finished for the semester
Thursday night planning team is finished for the semester... but we'll keep you posted on when it will be starting up next year :)
Good Friday Service - 4/10
The Spiritual Life Center and Christian University Chaplains will be holding a Good Friday Ecumenical service next week (April 10) at noon in the Fenway Center. They are seeking students, faculty and staff members who would like to be involved by helping as a reader. If you are available from 11:45- 1:15 on Good Friday and would like to assist with worship in this way, please talk to Thomas Joyce at joy...@neu.edu. It will be a great way to connect to other Christians on campus :)
Christian Unity Worship Night - 4/12 (Sunday) 7:00 Curry Student Center Ballroom
Join Agape Christian Fellowship, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Christian Student Union, and other Christians throughout campus as we come together on Easter evening to give God praise for what He's been doing throughout campus, in our groups, and in our lives this semester. Please come and join us Easter evening for a time of worship, prayer, and fellowship! What better way to spend Easter than in remembering and celebrating Christ's resurrection?
Life Groups - Still going strong!
Life groups are small groups of
people who meet up to get to know one another, and spend time getting
to know God better together. If you've never been in one, you should
really give one a try. It can make a big difference. Life group
listings and contact info is available at www.agape.neu.edu
... so check it out and sign-up! :) If you can't come Thursday night feel free to email Ali (shel...@neu.edu) for more info.
Morning Prayer - Still going strong!
Come
join us every morning
(Monday - Friday) at 7:14 as we host morning prayer in the Agape
office
(240 Curry Student Center). It may be early, but what better way to
start your day then to spend time with God! As always, feel free to
email prayer requests and let us know how we can be praying for you.
It's not too late in the semester... why don't you start praying with
us?
Feel like praying at 7:14 in the morning is just a little too early for you? If you're not a morning person but still want to participate in group prayer come join us for evening prayer at 6:00PM on Monday and Wednesday evenings in the Agape office (240 Curry Student Center). Please come and check it out for yourself! For more info talk to Cody! (If you didn't come to last Thursday's meeting and get the evening prayer plug... Cody really wants you there! And guess what? Prayer's really cool too... why don't you check it out tonight... what's stopping you?)
God bless,
Ali
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:3-5
