Koinonia Year End Video

hi all, here's the koinonia year-end video for 2009. 

"Being home is...hard"

True for you? i know it was for me. my greatest temptation in high school during the hot summer days in MD was to stay indoors, sleep until the sun burst through my shades and watch TV for hours until i was bored of TV. and then i would sleep some more. boy, thank the Lord that the times have changed and i have changed.

Here's a great article that gives some more perspective on this topic and some great advice about how to have an "Intentional Summer Break" from Boundless.org.

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone,

Happy new year and welcome back!  it's hard to believe that we're in 2009 and we're at the start of another semester.  I'm really thankful we could start the year off with the winter retreat where we learned a lot about the brokenness of our lives, our sins and God's amazing love and faithfulness.  I hope that you can all keep pressing on in knowing God deeper this year.  One way we can really do this together is through our Devotion Times or DT.  So please be sure to SIGN-UP and get plugged in.  You can also ORDER DT journals, which have the text and some reflection questions printed out.
