A Typical Week Around the BSU…

By Paul

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

Crazy Love Book Study

By Paul

Hey, some of us at the BSU are pretty excited about the book, Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Whether you’ve read the book before or not, one of the best ways to process the book and apply God’s truth to your life is to study the concepts of the book with other people.  We’re excited to offer two different times for this study so far:

Gals Book Study – 5pm Tuesdays @ the Food Court in Blum Union

Guys Book Study – 7pm Wednesdays @ upstairs at the BSU

Let Paul know if you need a book (via the contact form here on our website).

A week of Preparations! Hop on Board!

By Paul

1. If you’re signed up to help with Griffon Greeters tomorrow, thanks so much! Sounds like it may be a cooler day too! I’m walking over to campus at 8:45 in the morning.

2. At noon tomorrow, we’re partnering with CCF to provide lunch for the marching band. Just heard about this cool opportunity. If you’re helping with move-in…this means lunch is taken care of for you!! If you’re interested in mingling with us and serving the band, join us around 11:30 at the practice field back behind the residence halls.

3. WORK DAY! This THURSDAY! I’m working on what seems to be an ever-growing to-do list this week, and I’d love some help if you’ve got time! A little painting. A little yard work. Some cleaning/organizing. Maybe steam cleaning carpets. Helping get things ready for the Griffon Edge Fair. And much more! 9-?

4. LAST SUMMER BIBLE STUDY – THURSDAY…7pm @ the BSU. Prayer. Conversation. Bible Study. Jesus. =)

5. FRIDAY – GRIFFON EDGE FAIR – 11-12:30 in Looney. Help us get set up beginning around 10:30 or just swing by sometime to help us meet and greet!

6. FRIDAY – CHIEFS GAME –> it’s not entirely too late to get a ticket. They tell me I can add tickets up until Thursday, but LET ME KNOW ASAP. As of right now, we’re at 19 going! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=107450752646020

Whew! That’s a lot of stuff and it’s not even the first week of school!

We’re moving Wednesday Lunch…

By Paul

Beginning the first week of classes, we will no longer be hosting Wednesday Lunch at the BSU building. Instead, we’re moving the gig to campus–with a twist. From 11:30-1 every Wednesday, some of us will be hanging out in the Food Court over in Blum Union, and we’d love for you to join us! Grab a sub, burrito, or even pack a lunch and sit down at the table to enjoy some great community and conversation!

I know for some of you this may be a surprising transition. Why must we move on campus? Why will it not be just $1? I hope you are asking these questions, because we do need to address them.

For the last semester or so, I’ve been noticing a disparity between what we teach at the BSU and what we were practicing with some of our programming. We’re constantly talking about making disciples of Christ on campus, but then not engaging people intentionally on campus with our event programming. I know there were many great conversations around the Wednesday Lunch tables at the BSU, but too often, those we were trying to reach with the Gospel simply would not cross the street to eat lunch.

I have a vision for seeing groups of BSU students intentionally eating lunch in various places all across campus and using the meal table as opportunity to share the story of their lives and the extraordinary value of Jesus Christ in their lives.

Really, I think lunch at the Food Court will involve a lot of laughing, a lot of good conversation, and a great environment to make new friends. I hope you’ll join us starting Wednesday, September 1st! Come and go as your class schedule requires!
