UCO Movie night this Friday at 8:30pm at the men's house 1225 Weber Drive.

The Movie will be the Scarlet and the Black.  This movie is about a
Catholic Priest in Rome during World War II who helps escaped
prisoners of war get to Switzerland.

This movie is definitely worth seeing.

Hope to see you there.
-Chris

P.S. There are only two more UCO Wednesday summer prayer meetings left on June
18 and 25. Come on out...

Hey everyone!

This Wednesday (6/25) is our last UCO meeting of the summer.  We'll be
finishing our discussion of "Knowing God's Will", and we'll be wrapping
up our series on "How To Do Charismatic Prayer Meetings."  Hope to see
you on Wednesday at 8pm at the corner of Grand River and Gunson in East
Lansing (1047 Grand River Ave.).

Peace,
Kevin

Hello UCO!

I wanted to invite you to the first of it's kind UCO Bocce Tournament.  If you
remember the Bocce from the finale party, you know what you're getting yourself
into.  If not, there's only one way to find out.  Here's the rundown:

What: UCO Bocce Tournament
When: Friday (6/27) at 8:00pm
Where: Slater Park (in Groesbeck near the Weber men's house)

We'd like to try a doubles tournament, so you're welcome to come with a partner
(costumes/uniforms will not be frowned upon).  If you don't have a partner, come
anyway and we will set you up.

If you have any questions contact Andy at 482-9377 or chris471@...

Hope to see you there,

Andy Christopherson (the bracketologist)

Dear UCOers,

Many of you know Mary Gernon and are aware that she returned to her family in
Canada earlier this past spring.  Mary served on our UCO staff for a couple of
years doing a lot of outreach work and administrative tasks.  She was one of the
key behind-the-scenes people who did a lot to make things happen in our UCO
chapter.  Needless to say, she is dearly missed.

Unfortunately, we were not able to throw a going away party for her.  However,
we still want to acknowledge all her service, express our gratitude for all her
work, and honor her for the blessings she brought to us during her time with us.
Instead of doing this orally as we would at a party, we're going to do it on
paper and send it to her.

You can contribute to this effort by writing an appropriate note, even including
pictures, addressed to Mary, and email it to me.  Be sure you sign your name to
it.  I will then compile everyone's notes and get them to Mary.  The end product
will likely take the form of a booklet or a collage, depending on what I receive
from all of you.

Please get your contributions to me no later than Friday, July 25.  Thank you
for your help with this project.

Bonnie King

Note: Wellspring is a grouping of people in the Work of Christ, the community of Christians that supports UCO.

P.S. Don't forget to send honorific notes to Bonnie about Mary Gernon by Friday, July 25th (see Bonnie's email from July 11th).

Hello UCO,

Is summer really ending? No way. Let's enjoy the last days before school
starts again. I have a few things to share with you.

1. Pray for people at Campus Outreach Academy. This Academy has been
running in Ypsilanti, MI since last Saturday and ends next Sunday. Say a
prayer for your people from UCO Lansing at the COA: me, Kevin, Andy
Christopherson, Marie Repovz, Stacey Smith, Claire Darnell and Mary
Schaefer (happy birthday to Mary today!).

2. Gabe Young will be returning to the USA Sunday evening, August 17. Is
anyone available to drive down to Detroit Metro and pick him up? He will
be living with the Joy family next year and the Joys have a family event
that keeps them from getting him. This would be a loving service to our
brother Gabe. If you can do it, reply back to me.

3. Get ready for our first UCO meetings this fall. Three things: we'll
gather people to pray sometime around August 20 (stay tuned),
Sparticipation is Saturday, August 23, and the first UCO prayer meeting
will be Wednesday, August 27.

-Brian

The school year is almost here, and so is our UCO fall schedule!

We'll be starting things off with a prayer meeting this Wednesday 8/20
at 7:30pm at the Work of Christ Community center (4828 S. Hagadorn
Road).  We'll be talking about the upcoming welcome week schedule,
hearing testimony from the summer, and praying for this upcoming school
year.  Please join us there to get ready for what the Lord is going to
do with us this year.  Hope to see you there!

In Christ,
Kevin

Hey everyone!

Please check your email again sometime before 7:00pm tonight.  We will
NOT be meeting in the Tower Room at the MSU Union.  There was a
scheduling conflict that was not able to be resolved.  We are in the
process of confirming the new location of our Prayer Meeting tonight. We will
still meet at 7:30, just in a different location.

For you that are new to this list - it was great to meet you at
Sparticipation, on campus, or however we've gotten to know you.  Please
forgive this inconvenience - but we would love to see you tonight!  We
are going to have a lot of fun, a great time of worship, be called on to love
our God more, and then we'll hang out afterward and get to know
some new people!

Don't forget to check your email again - we'll get the location out to
you by this afternoon at the latest.

Look forward to seeing you and having a blast with you tonight!

In Christ,
Kevin

Hey everyone,

Just writing to let you know about our service project followed by a
party going on this Friday, August 29th.  If you're looking for a way to get out
and serve others, and have a great time doing it, this is the place to be!

We'll meet at 3pm at 4828 S. Hagadorn Rd. (The Work of Christ Community
Center) on Friday.  We'll be heading over to Lansing to serve at the
Allen Community Center - doing some neighborhood flyering and outreach,
as well as serving a family or two with some projects.  We'll work for
about 2-3 hours, then head over a house in Lansing that some of our
UCOers live in for dinner and party to follow.  This is going to be a
great way to spend a Friday, please join us!

Please wear or bring clothes you can potentially get dirty, and bring 3
dollars for dinner.

This is important - we need your RSVP by noon on Friday!  Email
kevin.hadsall@... to confirm that you will come to the service
project.  If you can only make it to the party in the evening, email the same
address and I'll get you directions/figure out a ride.

Hope you're able to make it!

In Christ,
Kevin

Hi UCO!

Some of you may have seen the schedule we handed out at the beginning of
the semester, or the Google calendar on our website, but we've decided
to hold an impromptu Prayer Meeting at the Tower Room in the MSU Union
at 7:30, this Wednesday 9/24.  We're getting together to have a good
time of prayer, share about what God has been doing in our lives lately,
and then hang out afterward!

Reminder:
Registration for the 2008 Fan Into Flame Retreat (Oct. 10-12) is due
Wednesday Oct. 1st at the latest.  We need your registration form and
money turned in by that date.  You can turn it in to me (Kevin), Bekah,
Stacey, or Tadhg.  Remember the cost is $55 for new folks (those who've
never been to a Winter Conference with us) and $110 for everyone else.
Make checks payable to UCO-UM.  If you need a registration form, come
this Wednesday and pick one up!

Hope to see you all there,

Kevin

Hi Everyone,

This Friday there is going to be a State wide prayer meeting in Ann
Arbor. Andy Christopherson and I are organizing rides. We need to know
who needs rides and who can drive.

If you can drive it would be greatly appreciated and would be
compensated for gas. Since this is fairly short notice a quick
response would be appreciated greatly. Just send Andy or I a message
at munkrobe@... or chris471@... and we'll figure out either
who your riding with or who your driving.

This should be a good opportunity to either meet some new people or
see some of the friends you made at Fan Into Flame; either way it
should be a lot of fun and we can't wait for Friday!

Have a good Week,
     Rob Munk
