Survey

Here's a quick survey for those of you paying attention. What are the biggest problems in your life? Loneliness, problems with the opposite sex, problems forgetting things, depression, problems with money?


Just comment annonymously if you feel uncomfortable.


Second question: what are some problems that you have with your faith? Questions, concerns, doubt, fear, lack of closeness with God, poor prayer life, bad discipline?


I'll tell you why we're doing this in a little bit.

One In Christ--Houghton College Edition

Hello from the blustery hills of upstate New York! Some of you may not know that I am presently working here at Houghton College (an east coast sister institution to Westmont) to form a One In Christ connection here on the Houghton College Campus. There have been many exciting developments in the initial formulations of what a sister ministry to Westmont's would look like in the context of a college engaged in answering a variety of different questions than those posed by Westmont's differing context. The Holy Spirit is moving people powerfully on our campus to pursue a revitalized vision of love and unity in the church. Currently, the campus OIC ministry is at a critical stage as our Spiritual Life Committee considers a short proposal that I have submitted to them in their next meeting this Saturday (January 12). I hope that further updates will quickly be forthcoming as developments take further shape here at Houghton.
Grace and Peace!
