Telos 2011 - Registration due Dec. 31

[CMDA NYU]

Hey CMDA!!!

I hope all of you have had a wonderful and restful break so far! Just as a reminder, Telos 2011 "special" early registration is due on Friday Dec. 31. Please see attached form(s). This is a REALLY important event for CMDA. Hope to see you there!

Here is a blurb from Anna Lee-Winans about the retreat:

"Telos '11 is InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's annual Graduate and Faculty weekend retreat held from Friday, Feb. 25 to Sunday Feb. 27.  Located at a Bed and Breakfast in the stunning Catskill Mountains, come join the beloved community of graduate students and faculty from all over NY/NJ as we explore the integration of Christian faith with the vocational calling and privilege of our education that God has granted us.  Spouses and children are welcome (see the Family Registration form for more details and discounts!) The theme this year is "Radical Hospitality: Jesus' invitation to community" from 1 John 3:16-24:

Resting in the presence of God is impossible when our hearts condemn us to the prisons of driving work and lifestyles that demand our worship.  Yet Jesus invites a different worship: that of laying down our lives and resources for the sake of God’s radical invitation of loving our neighbors with God’s love.  This worship frees us from the condemnation of our hearts.  This worship allows God’s love and presence to flourish within both us, and the community He has called us to dwell in. 

Join us this weekend at Telos ’11 as we practice the spiritual discipline of hospitality: making room for God, neighbor, and community within our lives, in the manner that Jesus has made room for us within God’s triune life.  

Deadline for early registration is Dec. 4, but if 5 or more students sign up from NYUCD-CMDA, the deadline can be pushed back to December 31, 2010.  Price increases afterwards.  Hope to see you there!"
