Aggie Suppers Resume January 17

Join us January 17 for our first Aggie Supper of the Spring Semester!

 Retreat! Oct. 5-7

Sign up begins now.   The cost for the whole weekend is $27 (room, board included).   Please have your $10 deposit in ASAP as we do have limited space.  We will leave BCS at 5 p.m. (and have a late car for those who work).  We will be traveling to Camp Lutherhill which is near LaGrange, TX.  The theme is “No Longer Strangers” based on Ephesians 2.   We will also have an opportunity to enjoy great worship and a service project together.   This retreat is a joint event of United Campus Ministry, Treehouse Lutherans (ELCA), and the Episcopal Student Center.  All three of our groups are committed to an inclusive biblical Christian presence at Texas A&M.   Anyone is welcome to this retreat and you are encouraged to invite friends.

 Aggie Supper This Thursday!

 Sunday Bible Study – 8 p.m. at Canterbury

This Sunday we begin a study on the Book of Daniel at 8 p.m. at the Canterbury Cafe, 902 George Bush Dr. in College Station.   Come Join us!

 Peanut Butter Fellowship to begin today (9/7)

Friday from 11:30 – 1:00 p.m. come by Sul Ross Statue in the Academic Plaza for a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, our hammock ministry, and a chance to connect with friends between classes.   The tradition resumes today!

Since 1975, UCM has offered a free PB&J and all the trimmings.  Consider what you would have spent on lunch today… and if you wish, donate to One Great Hour of Sharing to assist those affected by natural disasters, provide food to the hungry, and assist in helping to empower the poor and oppressed.

 Aggie Supper 9-5-12

We will have a discussion on the ways in which being a student is a calling from God.  Your time at Texas A&M or Blinn is not just to prepare for the future but to engage in holy activities that serve God through your mind and your spirit together.  We’ll talk about that connection this week and how it can help you now and into the future.   Aggie Supper is held at 6:00 p.m. at the Canterbury House, 902 George Bush Drive, across from lot 40 of the Texas A&M campus.

This week’s Aggie Supper is provided by the First Christian Church of Bryan / College Station.  The First Christian Church of Bryan /  College Station is a living Christ-centered, Christ-led family in covenant with all manifestations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ.)  Their mission is to learn, love, live and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to love and serve our neighbors.

 Welcome to Aggieland!

Howdy Students!!

                Welcome to Bryan/ College Station!  On behalf of the Board of the United Campus Ministry (UCM), I wish to extend to you a warm welcome to this community and more specifically the ministry that is UCM.  As you may not know, UCM continues to be a joint missionary endeavor of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ and are one of 80 religious organizations on campus at Texas A&M and one of 900 student organizations.  Together, we serve a student population of 60,000 students from throughout the United States with the mission to reach students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

During my time as a student at Texas A&M, it was a world not like anything else I had experienced coming from a small town in East Texas.  I was amazed by this community, the learning, the traditions, and the friendships I formed which I continue to cherish.    I remain very thankful for having the support of campus ministry in helping forge those relationships, strengthening my faith, and furthering my journey.  I certainly would not be the man, imperfect and all, I am today without my incredible experiences in college.

Having now lived in College Station for over 25 years, it has been exciting to see the growth in its size but as well as the richness and depth of the great students who come to live here.  There are many fun and great things to do during your time in college.  Football games, midnight yell, silver taps, and hanging out with good friends are but a few.  I encourage you to get involved in UCM as a way to meet new folks, develop friendships, share your faith journey, and ask the difficult questions in a non-judgmental environment that is safe and respectful.  This ministry, Kyle, and our board are here to serve you, support you, and fulfill the mission God has called us to be:

Welcomed by Christ…..Called to Serve…..Open to All.

Blessings in Christ & Gig’Em!

Looks like Isaac gets the last laugh (that’s a Biblical joke…I know…a really bad one)  We had big plans to pipe the game into the Canterbury House and project it on the wall with some fun activities along the way joining together with our Episcopal and Lutheran friends.  Thanks to Isaac, we’ll still do that but now we’ll do it at the rescheduled date of Oct. 13.

The game watching party may not have a game to watch now that the A&M – Louisiana Tech game has been postponed to October 13 but we will still get together and welcome each other and the Class of 2016 to Aggieland for Fall 2012.     Pizza, wings, and some fun opportunities to get to know each other will be there.  Bring a friend and let’s just enjoy seeing each other again and make some plans for a great year.
