While everyone is enjoying their Christmas break, we’re busy here getting ready for the Spring semester, which kicks off January 6th at 7:00pm.  On Sunday nights, we’ll be studying through the much misunderstood and avoided book of Revelation. We’ll be picking up on the major themes of this incredible book - themes like Christ’s love and care for the church, God’s sovereignty, prayer, worship, spiritual warfare, suffering, the climax of history, and heaven and hell.  The book of Revelation was meant to be an encouragement to the church and these themes have immediate and profound application to our lives today. That’s what we’ll be focusing on.  We certainly won’t hit every chapter (there are twenty two chapters and only 15-16 weeks in the semester), and we most certainly won’t get ourselves bogged down in pointless speculation about current events and how they may or may not fit into the book. I’m really looking forward to it.

Beyond Sunday nights, the semester will certainly be full and exciting. CGroups will be studying the second half of Isaiah (one of the most extraordinary portions of the Old Testament).  Renovo will continue to challenge students to serve the campus and larger community of Bloomington in meaninful ways.  There are two mission trips planned for Spring Break. We’re excited about an Arts Weekend in February -  a weekend to thank God for the gift of art and think about Christian participation in the arts. n that same note, we’re putting together a drama/dance team (if you’re interested, go ahead and email us now at dlwaugh@indiana.edu).  In addition to all of this, I’m sure you’ll see more about Open Mic Nights, social events and so much more.

So now I hope you are sharing in our excitement and eager to get back to BTown. See you soon!
