Just because the quarter is over doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! We still had our regular TFN this past Friday but this time at Fisk House (Pastor Daniel and Sarah’s house). Pastor Daniel started off the night with a Bible study about Joseph, reminding us of the true context in which Jesus was born. Afterwards, it was a night out on the town as we saw Christmas lights at Balboa Park, swung by …

Small Group Snapshot: Frosh Friday
One of the reasons we wanted to have small group TFNs is because we know that guys and girls are drawn to different things. I think it’s funny how we can plan for the same event but get completely different results. The freshman experience this past Friday proves my point exactly:
The two freshman brothers’ small groups met at Fisk House (Pastor Daniel and Sarah’s house) and the Freshman sisters small group met at Jessica’s …
Small Group TFNs
Here’s a recap of the different activities that took place this past Friday at our first ever Small Group TFNs!

Recap — Winter Welcome Night
It was a grand welcome indeed as we put on 3 a2f welcome nights to start off the new year and quarter! First time ever having 3 at the same time and we had a blast! Through it we were able to meet and get to know many new friends, as well as old ones who were able to make it to one of the three locations we offered. One welcome night was at ERC’s …
Knott’s Recap: A Berry Fun Tr...
Our trip to Knott’s Berry Farm was a jam-packed (no pun intended!), all-day outing full of wacky experiences ranging from getting soaked at Bigfoot Rapids to stomach-churning inversions on the Silver Bullet. We tried just about everything in the park–Xcelerator, Supreme Scream, Pony Express–not to mention some of the more “reasonable” rides like the Calico Coal Mine and the leisurely Calico Railroad, where we almost got held up at gunpoint by some funny bandits!

Recap: TSCB!!!
This past weekend was a whirlwind of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing,…and Bollywood dancing?!? If that made no sense to you whatsoever, let us back track to this past Friday when we did some last minute practice for Thanksgiving Service and Celebration Banquet. It had been two weeks since our last practice, but we had plenty of time for the SUPs do a couple of skit run throughs, and for the Freshmen to sing and record …
Recap of the Thanksgiving Retreat
Wow! What a weekend it has been! We just came back from our road trip up to the Bay Area for our annual Thanksgiving Retreat. The early birds who drove up on Thursday got to do a little sightseeing before the retreat. We took a trip to San Francisco to see the famous Pier 39! We checked out the lazy sea lions, the magic shop, Chocolate Heaven, and the crazy hat store. Besides Jessica Y being attacked by …
