ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN (MAR)

As Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray, he taught them to pray for God’s Kingdom to Come on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10). Throughout the New Testament, we see story after story and instruction after instruction demonstrating diversity in the Kingdom of God. At UBCO, we have the opportunity to be the people God uses to bring heaven to earth. But what would that look like practically? This month, let’s talk about how we can participate in this invitation to be a part of God’s Kingdom on earth.

Thursday Nights is our weekly worship gathering where we engage teachings from the Bible around relevant topics for university students. It's a place where everyone is welcome, seeking to know Jesus is prioritized, and authentic relationships are valued.

Taste the World

We are excited to host our annual Taste the World event this week! Taste the World is a multicultural celebration and potluck! Instead of a normal Thursday night UCM, we will be in the UNC Ballroom and we will eat delicious food from a variety of cultures and nations, as well as engage in presentations from various cultures. Here’s some important information to note about the event:

  • As this is a potluck, we ask you to contribute by bringing a dish from your culture or background, or a favourite food even if it is not from your specific culture. You could do this individually, in pairs, or in a small group. We ask that dishes contain enough for around 4-6 small servings.

  • Food does not have to be homemade by you. If you don't have the time or kitchen facilities, you could buy food from the international food aisle of the grocery store, from an international foods store, or from a restaurant.

  • Please fill in this google form to let us know what you will be bringing. This will help our team plan accordingly for the evening. Don't let the form be a barrier though, if you forget to fill it out, we would still love for you to bring something!

  • Additionally, we are looking for people to do a cultural presentation during the event! This is a chance to share something about your culture with the UCM community. This would be around 10 minutes long, and the possibilities are endless! Some examples of presentations that have been done in the past include teaching us some of your language, showing us traditional clothing, singing music or playing a musical instrument, or doing a slide show or kahoot on facts about your country, and more!

  • If you'd like to do a cultural presentation, please fill in this google form so that Nickeisha can plan how many people there will be.

  • Lastly, invite your friends to come! It will be a lot of fun and a great time!

GREATER LOVE (FEB)

Dating. Marriage. Sex. These are the things that our culture points to when talking about true love. Jesus, however, says this: "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13). During the month where romantic love is highly emphasized, let's instead talk about what Jesus teaches is the highest expression of human love: spiritual friendship.

PRAYER: OUR FIRST RESPONSE (JAN)

Prayer is a significant aspect in the daily life of the Christian. It is the way in which we can communicate directly with our Creator God, identify His will in our lives, and intercede for others around us. Conversing with God should not be a last resort; it should be our first response to blessings and struggles, whether in our own lives, on behalf of close friends and family, or even for those in power that might be in direct opposition to what we believe to be true. As we enter the new year, let us begin 2025 learning how to prioritize prayer.

How can we make sense of that? Join us this month as we talk about The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit and how they are all the one God that Christians worship.

Every year, UCM does a food drive on Halloween night to collect items for The Pantry; UBCO's on-campus food bank! This year, Halloween falls on a Thursday night so we will be doing this rather than our regular Thursday night. 

There are 2 parts to this events - food collection and then the after party. 
The food collection is from 5-7:30pm. We will:
   - Meet on campus at 5pm (F lot - parking lot near Nechako and UNC)
   - Organize rides to Quail Ridge 
   - In groups of 2-4, walk from house to house to collect donations
   - Halloween costumes are encouraged!
   - When finished, meet back on campus, bring donations to The Well, and count them

The second part of the evening is the after party from 7:30-8:30pm.
   - We will all meet in EME 1101 (the regular UCM room) after collecting donations
   - You can bring board and card games
   - Halloween costumes are encouraged! There will be a costume contest!
   - You are welcome to come even if you can't make it to the food collection :)

Please fill in this form to let us know if you are coming to collect food.
