This coming Thursday, January 31, we'll be meeting in the Student Center Clubsapce (2nd floor in the MUSC) at 6:30pm.

MacVCF/BCF Winter Retreat:

It's not too late to sign up for the retreat! You can hand in your permission forms and money ($85) to your small group leaders this week. Also, you can drop it off from 11:30-12:30 on Wednesday in the fishbowl looking room in the Clubspace. Someone will be there to collect everything. The retreat is THIS WEEKEND. We'll meet at 5:30pm with all your stuff @ Div College Parking lot.

And now, a list of things to bring:
- pillow
- sleeping bag
- materials for manuscript study (pen, pencils, coloured pencils, markers)
- Bible
- notebook for taking notes
- towel
- toiletries
- warm clothes
- indoor shoes/slippers
- health card
In the main meeting hall, the heating is not perfect. The front of the room can be very hot and the back very cold. The solution: wear layers!

Again, if cost is an issue, PLEASE speak to Melody (mellychookado[at]hotmail.com). We can definitely work something out.

Hi everyone! Welcome back... we hope you all had a very fun and relaxing break and are ready to get back into the swing of things with school starting once again. Here are a couple things that we've got coming of @ MacVCF...

Welcome Back Party

We'll be having a welcome back party this Saturday the 12th @ Alan and Andrew's House (27 Hollywood St. S) 6:00pm. It'll be pretty low key with some good food and games as a way to welcome everyone back and see how the holidays were. If you could bring some kind of appetizer that would be great. And feel free to be creative with it and bring something interesting! Interesting is always good... Anyone is welcome, so feel free to invite friends as well. Hope to see you all there!
