Kairos Christian Fellowship (Gracepoint – Berkeley)

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!

Congratulations to Nick, our K4 senior, for graduating this past Saturday. He’s got a new spiffy Civil Engineering degree now. Yahoooo! We at Kairos wish you the best in your future endeavors. We’ll miss you!

What better way to top off the semester than by going to Fentons Ice Cream?! Here’s a visual recap of what happened that evening. Big thanks to the iPhone camera, which all these pics came from. Comes in handy when I forget my actual camera! Check out more pics on our Flickr site.

This past week, Curtis, Cheng, and Ron put on their gowns and walked across the stage in their respective graduation ceremonies. Congratulations to you guys, and to all the seniors who are now moving on to the next chapter in their lives. Congrats to everyone for finishing another year of school (or the first year for the frosh).

Below are a few photos from their graduations — more photos are on our Flickr set.

If you’re here over summer, stick around, because there’s a lot that’s going on (Six Flags and 30 Hour Famine anyone?). Check out Gracepoint Announcements to see all that will be happenin’!

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.

Getting Started

Sign up on the Gracepoint website (or on one of the signup sheets). This allows us to keep track of how many participants are from our church.

Get a packet. It contains more info about this event, as well as a packet to place your donations. This is also useful because it gives you the group account number that’s needed for you to…

Create a donation page on the official website. This will allow you to collect funds online. Enter in your group account number (see above) here. After that, enter your information, and you’re good to go!

Get sponsors. Apart from receiving donations online, find creative ways to collect money. Check out the official Gracepoint famine site to get ideas. 

Be inspired. Be active. Be hungry.

Now that we’re running on the new site, our old Kairos 2 site will now be collecting cobwebs. It was slightly over a year ago when we put up our first post, and since then, we’ve had 105 posts, 2 pages, 13 categories, and 530 comments. Our most famous page by far was our Sierra Trip of 2008 with a total count of 244 hits, and our highest-ranking post was (coincidentally?) our Sierra camping trip. Yes, we shall miss thee, ye olde Kairos 2 site, but here’s looking to a new year with a new website!

Hey guys. Just wanted to say welcome to our new Kairos site. Not only did we merge with A2F Blue, we also have this new snazzy site!

Thanks for all those that came out to Fenton’s tonight! To all those that were about to try the Challenge but backed out… you have all summer to train, so let’s do it next time! Pics of the event will be coming soon.
