What is…Blood Covenant & Worship Retreat?

Timbo — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:18:46 +0000

The purpose of XA is to help MSU students love God and love people…so we offer seminars, retreats, XA classes, small groups, etc. to give unparalleled opportunity for you to grow in knowledge and truth. Blood Covenant is a powerful time of discovery in all that Jesus has done for us by His finished work on the cross. It will blow your mind and expand your heart with the deep biblical truths of God as a covenant God even when we are NOT a covenant people. Another weekend experience is the upcoming Worship Weekend Retreat…you will be challenged in true worship and surrender, as well as encouraged with revelation about your God given spiritual authority. You won’t wont to miss it. Finally, we have our DxD(discipleship by design) class. DxD is a 5 week class that explores what Jesus said about “Therefore go and make disciples”. It is really a class that reveals how to partner with God in serving to bring about personal growth and a community impact. DxD is capped off with a very fun, challenging, weekend get away that is one of my favorite times of the year. Check out below for more info about all that is happening and check out the calender page too.

Biblical Nsight: The greatest miracle of all times when Jesus conquered the grave and rose again leaving death and the grave with no hold on us that receive the gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus and what He has done. But, Jesus did not just give us a gift of eternal life that we need to hold onto until we die and then enter into it. He gave us His Spirit to abide within us to have resurrection life now as we live right here in Bozeman, MT. We are told in Rom 8:11a…the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you. So please, live your a life worthy of the Spirit who is in you who raised Jesus from the dead and wants to flow from you to the world around us. WOW…that’s awesome!

FRESHMEN + FREEDOM IS GOOD!

Well you made it through the first week and a half and I bet you discovered that it was not as freaky as you thought. It really is just more of the same except you are the one totally responsible for yourself. No one will call your momma if you miss class and no one will take you car keys if you stay out to late on a Tuesday night. A few things to consider…

1) READ through the entire syllabus for each class…it could save your neck!

2) GO TO CLASS everyday…this is appox. 60% of your academic success!

3) PLAN SOMETHING FUN…reward your good study habits with a good time away from campus!

Speaking of FUN…

Chi Alpha(XA), Campus Crusade, Intervarsity and Higher Definition are hosting a unified time of worship for all Christ followers to participate in this Friday night, Sept 11th at 7pm in SUB Ballroom A. This is not a time of hype or high tech but a sincere time of surrender and exaltation to Jesus Christ.

Also, XA is hosting a Hip-Hop Concert in the basement of the XA house (1212 So. 6th, across the street from Roberts Hall on the east side of MSU campus). It starts Saturday at 7pm. Dress in Ghetto Gear because this will be a great show!

Fall Retreat…..

This is one of my most favorite times of the year. This years Fall Retreat will be at Camp on the Boulder in beautiful McLeod, MT. It starts Friday, Sept 18th and ends at 1pm on Sunday, Sept 20th. The food is great, the camp is perfect, the worship times will stir you, the message will impact you and the fellowship will make you smile. The lodging, food, registration and snacks for two days are provided for only $70 for the whole weekend. Please register with us ASAP!

WELCOME FRESHMEN!

Hopefully you have gotten settled into your dorm, you have your posters hung, your shower flip-flops and have at least found the library and the SUB. Chi Alpha (XA) is very excited to welcome you to MSU and to a whole new adventure in life. The college years are always full of fun, stress, test, papers, road trips, etc.

Sunday night XA will be invading the MSU dorms taking fresh baked cookies and donuts to every person on campus that signed up with us at Catapalooza! If you are lucky enough to be in your room on Sunday night you will have some extra calories to jump start your freshmen 15! We take these goody bags to campus to simply let you know that we understand the transition from home to MSU and we want to help you as best we can along the way. One great way to make your college experience richer is to get plug in with a group like XA Christian Fellowship. We host PARADIGM 755 every Tuesday night at 7:55pm at the XA House, located at 1212 So. 6th on the east side of campus across from Roberts Hall(engineering). PARADIGM 755 is our large group worship meeting and everyone is welcome, no matter the background or religious convictions. We also have small groups every Monday, Weds & Thursday.

Labor Day this weekend:

This Saturday, Sept 5th, we have our 4th annual Hawaiian Luau. It starts at 7pm with music, sand volleyball, lots of food, beach games, door prizes, and a costume contest! The Luau will be held at the XA house(see above).

On Sunday, Sept 6th, we host a BBQ and Sand Volleyball party. It starts at 7pm at the XA house.
Hope to meet you soon!

Catapaloowhat?

What Happened to Summer?

I can’t believe that the dorms open and Catapalooza starts tomorrow…! I was really looking forward to having a nice long summer vacation. Actually, I am very excited for everything to start back up again. It is going to be one of the best years in recent Chi(X) Alpha(A) history. One for the greatest needs for today’s college student is a place to fit. At XA we want you to know that wherever you are on your spiritual journey, there is a place for you here. We have dozens of ways to get plug in like…Bible studies, bonfires, hikes, retreats, game nights, white water rafting, BBQ’s, sand volleyball, Paradigm 755 and much, much, more.
Chi Alpha is NOT a fraternity or sorority. We are a Christian group on MSU campus dedicated to seeing students grow in their relationship with Christ. We have a house located at 1212 So. 6th St. directly across the street from Roberts Hall on the east side of MSU campus…You are always welcome here!

This Friday night we are hosting our Volleyball & BBQ back to school event…please come and bring a friend for free burgers and lots of fun. It all starts at 7pm on Fri, Aug 28th. See you there!
