Shane Claiborne in Grand Rapids

We had a great day with Shane Claiborne at Westminster Presbyterian Church. 

A small group of students from GVSU, MSU and GRCC were able to meet with Shane before his public appearance to talk about life at the Simple Way, restorative justice, and how, in light of all the difficult and sad situations in the world, to keep hope alive.

We had a full sanctuary to hear Shane speak on “Reconciliation: Tearing Down the Walls”.

True North partnered with the Spiritual Life and Learning Committee of Westminster Presbyterian Church to bring Shane to Grand Rapids. Thanks to Westminster for being a great collaborative partner! And thanks to my colleagues in campus ministry for coming and bringing your students. And thanks to Shane Claiborne for the great talk.

Science vs Christianity?

Join us beginning February 1 for what promises to be an interesting discussion on science and Christianity. We will be using materials from Test of Faith and the Faraday Institute to explore the relationships between science and Christianity. Our starting premise is that Christianity is true and that modern science accurately describes and explains the world around us. Using video clips of working scientists who are Christian and theologians who are well versed in science we will discuss the following topics

SCIENCE vs. CHRISTIANITY?

Feb. 1: Science, Faith and the Universe

Feb. 8: Facts and Faith

Feb. 15: Creation vs. Evolution?

Feb. 22: Christian Environmentalism?

Feb. 29: Are we more than our Brains?

This series begins February 1  from 3-4:30 p.m.,  On the GRCC campus, Room 20 (inside Student Life) SC

Welcome Back!

Welcome back students!  We hope you had a wonderful and restful break.  There are several events in the plans for this semester.

Beginning in January, along  the GRCC Christian Fellowship will host  group discussions of  ”The True Story of the Whole World” which will encourage you to see the grand narrative of God’s story as told in the Bible and how to find your place in God’s true story for the whole world.

In February we’ll host, along with the GRCC Christian Fellowship, a science and Christianity discussion group at GRCC,

At Kendall, there’s a student art show the Kendall Christian Fellowship is organizing. There are several churches on board to show student art and hear from student artists about their art and faith. If you are a Kendall student, it’s not too late to submit your art!

Nancy will be visiting an MBA class for conversation about Christian business ethics and speaking at Westminster Presbyterian Church about campus ministry, why it matters and what True North is about.
