Dallas vs. Houston

davidlee — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:56:38 +0000

The Summer On-the-road TFN kicks off next Friday beginning in Dallas (Houston in July) and inevitably, as it is with human nature, comparisons are bound to be made over which city is better. Here are some very compelling, unbiased arguments from some of our members. Feel free to comment with your own opinions.

Good Friday Service (Fri 4/2)

Henry — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:07:05 +0000

Good Friday is a day of remembrance when, we solemnly reflect on the death of our Savior Jesus on a Roman cross to pay the penalty for our sin. It is a sober reminder of what we did to God before our joyous celebration of what God did for us—resurrect from death and conquer Satan, sin, and death—on Easter Sunday.

We are going to have a special viewing of the Passion of the Christ movie before the Good Friday Service starting at 5 pm.

Koinonia College Winter Retreat

Henry — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:37:58 +0000

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! Please sign up below.

When: Saturday 1/16/10 to Monday 1/18/10
Where: Lutherhill Retreat Center (La Grange, TX)

Thanksgiving Community Service (Saturday, Nov. 21)

Henry — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:10:08 +0000

During this season of Thanksgiving, we will be having two community service opportunities as we share God’s love with our neighbors. As we are grateful for all that God has done in our lives, we want to express that in loving those in need around us.

Please join us for either our visit to the Austin Nursing Home and Salvation Army Shelter on Saturday, Nov. 21. We will hold a special presentation at each of the locations, making and giving crafts to either the children at the Shelter or the elderly in the Nursing Home, and share a special message of God’s love.

Soph and Up Getaway to Enchanted Rock

Henry — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:47:13 +0000

The sophs+ (that’s ‘sophs and up’!) had a whirlwind 24-hr trip out to the beautiful Central Texas hill country – leaving Friday night right after the TFN, we went to the spacious rental house and had yummy, warm beef barley soup to fend off the chill, quesadillas (cooked up by our soph+ sisters), and played some fun games, topped off with a stirring viewing of ‘Glory Road’ (go UTEP!). And that was just the first night! The following day some bros caught the sunrise, some went fishing, and then after brunch and devotional time, everyone got together for a drive over to Enchanted Rock (‘North America’s largest pluton’), where we hiked up to some crazy rock formations, fished at Moss Lake, and then capped it off with a gorgeous sunset at the end of the Summit Trail. The drive home was chock-full of funny jokes, riddles, and Talkabout-car games, with a stop off at Cooper’s BBQ in the middle. Phew! It was such a blast, and we can’t wait for our next soph+ outing!
