A couple of years ago, we started the tradition of visiting various senior citizen care homes and homeless shelters on Valentine’s Day. What could be a more meaningful way to celebrate this day of “love” than to share God’s unconditional love with others? This Valentine’s Day, we will continue on that tradition as we visit the Salvation Army and South Congress Care & Rehabilitation Center. Join us on February 14, 2010, from 10-11:30am, as we share God’s love and compassion with others.
Come join us for this week’s H.O.T. Spot (hang out time) on Thursday (2/11). We’ll have lunch and fellowship together during your break between classes. You can bring your lunch and we’ll bring lots of food to share too! Come anytime between your break from 12-2pm and we’ll meet at the tables between the FAC & Union. If it rains or it’s too cold, look for us inside the Texas Union eating areas.
For those who are always in classes on Wednesday, we’ll be alternating each week to meet on Thursdays, so check back each week for the exact day.
Date: Thu, 2/11 Time: 12-2pm (come anytime) Location: Tables between FAC & Union
Join us for this new Sunday message series where we’ll study some of the people who were instrumental in David’s life. Just as God used the relationships in David’s life to shape him into the person he became, see how God is using the relationships in our lives to shape us.
Date/Time: Sundays through 2/14, 4:00pm (Will be followed by dinner and prayer meeting) Location:408 W. 23rd St., Austin
Over 80 people attended the Koinonia Winter Retreat! The weekend was packed with challenging messages from God’s Word, illustrations from Lord of the Rings movie clips, moving times of praise, and wonderful times of fellowship, especially through playing sports and singing around the campfire together. God worked in a mighty way at the retreat, leading 10 people to make salvation/lordship decisions, and many others to rededicate their lives to God. We look forward to all that God has in store for the coming year, and living it out together!
When: Saturday 1/16/10 to Monday 1/18/10 Where: Lutherhill Retreat Center
This retreat is a special time away from the stress and distractions of life to spend some good time together and carefully consider life, God, and how it all comes together. We guarantee that you’ll have a lot of memories and food for thought. It’s open and relevant to everyone, whether you’re new to Christianity or a Christian seeking to grow more. This year, the retreat theme will be driven by biblical lessons from the super-exciting, some would say “epic”, Lord of the Rings story (and yes, movies!). You don’t want to miss out! Sign up to attend the retreat!

This past Saturday the Koinonia staff drove to Dallas and met up with 11 of our students from Dallas to usher in 2010 with many “twists and turns”. We arrived at Six Flags as soon as it opened and chose to immediately face our fears by riding the scariest rollercoasters: Shockwave, Superman, and Titan. Some of the older people such as Pastor M (name not revealed to protect identity) were already feeling lightheaded and dizzy after just a couple of rides.
After some of the brothers burned $5 trying to win stuffed animals from the basketball challenge, it was time for lunch. We gathered at the picnic spot right outside the park entrance for a scrumptious homemade lunch and shared with one another which rides were the favorites at that point. The food and rest re-invigorated us for another round of thrills and screams (at least for most of us), but the highlight of the day had to be the final basketball challenge where ChinChin surprised everybody by making the lone shot of the day for the coveted stuffed animal. Something neither Bryan, nor Pastor M (both self-proclaimed sharpshooters) could accomplish after numerous attempts.
We capped off our trip by driving to H-Mart where we enjoyed eating cheap, authentic Korean food to our hearts content. Overall, it was a wonderful trip full of many laughs and memory making moments. We’re especially thankful to have met up with our Dallas students in the middle of the winter break to bond and fellowship with one another. Looking forward to the next one!
