If you happened to be on campus this morning and received a free Pop Tart, we hope it was a blessing! We’re hoping it brightened your day and that it reminded you there is more to this life than just the daily grind of school, work, etc.
If you have any questions or would like to hear what some people are saying about Jesus, check out iamsecond.com OR send us a note via our contact page.
The semester is well underway, but perhaps you’re still looking for a way to get plugged in to a Christian ministry at Missouri Western. Here are a few opportunities that happen throughout any given week at the BSU that you should check out!
1. MOMENTUM (our Thursday night Coffee House & Worship Gathering) happens every Thursday night at 7pm at the BSU. You can come early and/or stay late to chill with friends, make new friends, eat, drink a frappuccino, play a game of pool we call “SCUM”, and much more. During Momentum, we spend a significant time each week singing great songs that help point us toward knowing Jesus. Following worship, this fall we’re exploring the journeys of some of the great kings and prophets of the Bible and learning how their lives illustrate our need for the Gospel. Come check it out!
2. WEDNESDAY LUNCH – Join us in the Food Court in BLUM every Wednesday over the noon hour. We usually have a good laugh and get to know each other a bit better. Come, and bring a friend!
3. SMALL GROUPS – Monday nights are small group Bible study night this semester at the “B”. Guys meet at 7pm at the BSU to study through 1st Peter and enjoy an ever-increasing sense of brotherhood. Gals meet at 6:30 on campus. ON TUESDAYS, there is a co-ed Bible Study that meets in Scanlon Hall at 7pm, and ON MONDAYS there is also a Bible study for football players! Contact us via the contact form on our website to get more info about any of these!
4. PRAYER – a growing group meets at 6:00AM every Thursday for prayer, and it’s awesome to see how God is blessing faithfulness to come before Him in prayer!
5. FUN – Sometimes on Wednesdays or Friday or Sunday nights, a group of us get together to play Ultimate Frisbee, Capture the Flag, etc! Watch our Facebook Page for up-to-the-minute info on this stuff!
It’s our prayer that you may know and experience the Lord Jesus more and more through involvement in a community of Jesus-followers. We hope you’ll find a place to know and grow during your time at MWSU, and we hope that you’ll take the time to get to know us a bit!
Blessings,
Paul

What’s your plan for growing closer to Jesus this summer? If you don’t have one, you need one! James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Here’s my simple Bible Reading Plan:
1. Plan a Regular Time to open God’s Word and study each day for even 10-
15 minutes (or longer of course). For example: after you get dressed
each morning.
2. Pick a Place in Scripture to Begin Reading and read 1 chapter each day.
For example: Begin reading in the book of John or Romans.
3. What to do Each Day during your 10-15 minute study:

BOX AUCTION – Momentum on Thursday, May 5th (yes, during finals week) is gonna be a fun night! In addition to music and honoring our seniors, we’ll be holding a special auction to raise money for missions–possibly for one of our own BSUers. HERE’S THE DEAL though–we need YOU to make a creative “box” of something to auction off at the auction. We also need you to bring a few dollars to buy a box that night =). In years past, boxes have been full of candy, baked goods, CDs, and fun stuff from the dollar store. =) It’s an BSU tradition!
HELP BABYSIT for a PASTOR’S DAY OUT on Saturday, May 7th from 1-4pm at Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church. What a neat opportunity to be a blessing to area pastors! Talk to me to get info about how to sign up to help!
STUDY DAY (May 3rd) is gonna be a fun day at the BSU. From 9am until who knows, bring your game system and come hang out at the BSU. Then, from 5-7pm or so, the girls are throwing a baby shower for Jala (talk to Katie, Breanna, or Michaela). Beginning at 6:30, the guys are gonna grill up some hamburgers and hot dogs for a cookout. Once that’s over, we’re doing a photo scavenger hunt and possibly watching a movie outdoors on the lawn afterwards. It’s gonna be a fun night!
