New Student Welcome Night is here!!

New Student Welcome Night is here! Well, technically, I guess it's tonight (Wed.), beginning at 6 PM, Pauley Ballroom, right across from Sproul Hall. I'm so excited.

The past couple days have been really full though. Sophs and Juniors from our homegroup have been out helping our friends move into the dorms. We've gone to Fenton's for ice cream, SF for In-N-Out and Ghirardelli's, played basketball on the Willard Courts, so much ultimate frisbee it's coming out of our ears, shaved ice, eating at the DCs, and just meeting a lot of people-friends from previous years just returned from their summers, and new students to our Cal campus.

I guess the best part is the laughter and new friendships. It's a special time of year these first couple weeks.

I can't wait til New Student Welcome Night. Music, a short sketch, lots and lots of people, and even a free barbecue, the main event will be the funnies, and the guy who talks for a bit trying to connect with each one of us. See you there, and invite your friends!!

New Student Welcome Night... around the corner

Believe it or not, it's that time of the year again: Fall Semester. You know what that means. Anyway, the New Student Welcome Night website is up, and it's cool.

Here's the tag line:

New Student Welcome Night 2008 @ UC Berkeley is sponsored by three campus fellowships to introduce you to Cal, student life, and who we are. (Loud) Music, skits, video, a brief talk, some laughter and even food, we're into community, culture, our campus, and a God who's got something relevant to say to all of us.

And here's the video trailer for the evening.
