Christian Student Fellowship

David Lasley kicked off our semester at Monday Night Worship in our new series called "Rebuild".  So much of our lives have been deconstructed. In this series we hope to learn a few things together that can make all the difference this fall as we do the work of rebuilding   Week 1 we looked at The Gospel - this better story about Jesus' grace that can remake and shape everything in our lives.  Make sure to download the CSF app so you can find the message notes!

In the final installment of The Elephant in the Room series, Adam is joined by graduating seniors, Abbie and R.D., to discuss graduation during COVID-19. 

Gretchen shared at Monday Night Worship Online about our next set of chapters in the Luke reading plan.  It's not too late to jump in!  You can do so here.

Adam and David wrestle with how to navigate boredom during COVID-19.  We know some are bored now and others will be very soon when the semester is over.  At the heart of the conversation is a discussion on how both work and rest are good, biblical things.  The challenge is in how we do both "in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Col. 3:17).  Also - we mention the CSF Luke Bible Reading Plan.  There's no shame in joining late!  

This week, David shared a little bit about forming spiritual habits.  Then he helped prepare us for our reading through the book of Luke in the next few weeks.  To join the reading plan, click here. 

In this episode, special guest Kayla joins Adam and David to share some encouragement on the topic of anxiety.  A resource discussed was the book, Get Out Of Your Head by Jennie Allen. 

This week at Monday Night Worship Online, Lindsey challenged us to consider how to maintain a servant's heart even while sheltering in place.  

This week, Adam and David share some ideas for navigating dating during COVID-19.  The content centers around a chapter on dating in Jonathan Pokluda's book, Welcome to Adulting.   

The Elephant in the Room series is all about addressing difficult topics impacting college students during COVID-19 from a faith perspective.  Rather than ignoring these topics, the goal is to learn how to honor God in each of them.   And certainly - we don’t have all the answers.  But hopefully this can at least be a part of helping us in CSF start the conversation.

This week at Monday Night Worship Online, Gretchen led us through Spiritual Practice 3: Scripture memory.  To watch the video of the Magruder clan reciting Psalm 27:1-3(complete with motions!), head on over to uiscsf.online.church this week. 

Adam Hulskotter (grad student) and David (campus minister) take a few minutes to chat about one of the realities facing all of us - guys and gals - in this COVID-19 world.  The conversation centers around implementing points from Randy Gariss' Session 3 on pornography from Winter Retreat.  Hear that session via podcast here.
