Kairos Christian Fellowship (Gracepoint – Berkeley)

We had the Kairos Welcome Night followed by sports time at the Maxwell family field this past Thursday. It was a night with Hawaiian BBQ, funny videos, skits, a thought-provoking talk, and lastly some friendly sports competitions. It was a ton of fun! For those of you who were there, you know what I am talking about!

So, we began the program  proudly presenting the first-ever KAIROS PRAISE BAND! Thank God for His provision that we had just enough musical talents to put together a full band. It was truly some rocking music that exceeded the expectations of many of us And then, there was the video with this senior guy Josh sharing some words of wisdom from his college experiences. But man, what’s with his pink shirt? I sure learned the lesson to never mix my colors with my whites when I do laundry. Thanks for your tips Josh! Oh yeah, also make sure to avoid that stalker girl!

Then comes the highlight of the night: the talk given by Rick. Rick shared about growing up in Hawaii he had always wanted to get off of the island and see the world. When he went to Berkeley for college, he thought that he’d be finally be happy. But there, he found himself seeking one thing after another and yet not satisfied. He pointed out that this “if only I had ___, then I will be happy” mentality is what drives us in our various pursuits in life. Ultimately, we all just want to have a good life! But what’s a good life? Then, he used the mousetrap to demonstrate the point that we must know the purpose of something (what it’s used for) in order to determine whether it’s good or bad. It’s indeed a powerful point, but man, I was so afraid that the mousetrap would catch his fingers during his demonstration!

After the welcome night, we had some crazy actions in handball, ultimate frisbee, and brave heart up at the Maxwell field. The most awesome team, the freshman class, was split into two groups.  And despite their lack of experiences in these games and some competitive brothers on opposing teams, the frosh 1 team fought hard and received the glory of 2^nd place! Yeah…some brothers got a little competitive during handball. But it was all for some friendly competition and good fun! We ended the night with boba and a group picture on the field. Check out some pictures from the night and be sure to join us this Friday for the Kairos bible study and some more fun!

Coming hot off the heels of New Student Welcome Night, we’ll be having our own Kairos Welcome Night this Thursday! Although it’s smaller in scale compared to NSWN, we’ll still be having a fun skit, a praise band, and a talk titled, “Why am I…” Plus, get to meet new people and enjoy free food! See you there!

On a separate note, we’ll be starting LIFE Groups this week. However, if you’re still interested, it’s not too late to sign up!
