Saturday Meeting 05/17/2008

From our session leader Chad:

Hey guys!!

I hope everything is going well with you guys!!

Well, we will be having our fellowship meeting tomorrow at 5 pm in the Newman
Center, and I will be leading. It feels good to lead again after a little
hiatus!!

For the meeting tomorrow, we will be talking about a topic that is deep to my
heart: Christian Love. Think about the following questions:

1. What does it mean to say that God "loves" us? We have heard this statement
throughout our entire lives, but what does it really mean? Is the context of
"love" that Jesus was talking about in Jewish times different than our modern
context of "love", or is it really not all that different? After all, "love",
although it changes in context, has an eternal meaning.
2. What did Jesus mean in the bible when he said that we should all "love" one
another as Christian brothers and sisters? Does this mean we should always go
all out 100% for our brothers and sisters? Even the pan-handlers that we pass
in Oakland? In other words, how far should we go? Should we actually treat
complete strangers in life like actual brothers and sisters if they need help?
3. In Catholic theology, how does God express his love to us? What is the
ultimate show of this love?

Alllllrightyyy, I think this is a great topic and I look forward to discussing
it tomorrow! I already have lots to say on this topic. In case you forget,
our meetings are at 5 pm in the Newman Center, and we would love to see new
faces!!

Also, as I have been promising, I will have at-least two new Praise and Worship
songs for all of us to sing tomorrow. Fun times!!!

See you all tomorrow!!

Chad
