Kairos Christian Fellowship – Gracepoint, Berkeley

We’ll be having our various retreats in the month of July. It will be a good time to get to know Pastor Ed and Kelly Kang, bond with your peers, and have a deeper appreciation for the Word of God and examine how it is relevant to your life! Here are the dates and signup links (please be sure to read the pre-reqs on the signup pages):

• Sophomore Retreat: 7/31-8/2  | signup
• Junior Discipleship Retreat: 7/17-19 | signup
• Senior Discipleship Retreat: 7/24-26 | signup

Deadline to sign up is July 3rd! So, if you’re reading this, click on the link above. It takes no more than a minute to sign up!

Speaking of signups, don’t forget about signing up for DT groups and for our July 4th camping trip! More info about them in this post.

DT GROUPS
Over the summer, we’ll be having DT groups on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is a good way to exercise what we learned this week in Truth Project — the best way to intimately know God is through his Word.

If you’re interested, please sign up!

JULY 4th CAMPING TRIP

Update (6/25): We got a house up at the Sierras — we’ll have to rough it out some other time!
In order to prepare for the trip (rides, food, etc), we need to know who wants to go ASAP. Please sign up by tomorrow night!

This July 4th weekend, Kairos will be camping at the Sierras! Lodges and cabins are for the weak; we’ll be roughin’ it in the woods the real way — in tents! We’ll be leaving that Friday morning (7/3) and will be back Saturday night. (However, we need some real manly brothers to leave Thursday night to scout out and save spots for the rest of us. If you fit the description, please indicate that on the form.)

Hallo peoples! Just a quick reminder about bible study this week. No changes from last week. Just be sure to get to your classes on time so we can get started quickly. See you all Friday!

Today was the final day of Impact SummerFest 2009!! There were over 160 volunteers from Gracepoint Berkeley that came together to welcome over 100 kids from Oakland and Alameda!! If you were involved, this year or in the past, how was your experience?

More photos after the jump!

The day has come and gone. And what a day it was! Who had fun at Magic Mountain? Post your responses here! What was your favorite ride and favorite moment of the trip? I personally had an awesome time. My favorite ride has got to be Tatsu (though x2 was a close second). And favorite moment? Seeing Johnny Yang with a pink cape trying to shoot 3-pointers. More pictures to come, but you can check out some here: GFC Magic Mountain Trip

Hey y’all. Note the slight change in time for Bible Study. This time around, we’re going to go straight up to 8:30pm for MYT, and then start Bible Study at 8:40pm. Check with your staff for more info about dinner. See you guys then!

Surely by now, all of you have heard about our trip to Magic Mountain this Monday. I don’t have to go into the details of how great of a deal this is. “How can it get any better” you ask? It just did. We’ll be giving out TWO FREE TICKETS to Magic Mountain. Excited? Here’s how you can participate:

Yup, it’s that easy. So, comment away** — contest ends this Sunday at 5pm.

* You can comment as many times as you like, but we’ll only count you once.
** Need a topic? Maybe you can mention your most memorable moment at Gracepoint Fellowship Church (or at Kairos/a2f) this past year.

Hey guys and gals. Summer is upon us, and we have a new and exciting Friday evening lined up each week. We’re going to start off with Multiply You Talents from 7-8:30pm, followed by large group Bible Study from 8:30-9:30pm. All will be held at First Presbyterian Church, located on the corner of Dana & Channing. Dinners will be with your home groups, so check with your leads for more info about where to meet for dinner. See you guys tonight!

Hello everyone! FYI, Bible Study will be on Thursday (today!) this week at North Loop. Come having eaten already. We will begin at 8pm. See you guys there!

As many of you heard (and watched the trailer), we at Gracepoint Fellowship Church are participating in the 30 Hour Famine this year. The official day (er, 30-hour period) that we’re participating is on Sat, 6/27 @ 12am to 6/28 6am. However, before that day, you and I will be thinking of creative ways to raise money to help feed and care for children worldwide. During this process, we will gain more insight into what it feels like to experience hunger. Children all over the world are under-nourished — they go through days (and weeks and months) on end without food; we will do the same for a mere 30 hours.
