The end of our Alpha Series
This past week marked the end of our very first Alpha series at CSUEB Koinonia. Though it lasted only 5 weeks, we have considered various topics on Christianity and developed many meaningful relationships through our small group discussions. Because CSUEB is a commuter school, it’s not always easy to gather together to have this kind of time. The sheer fact that somehow, in the middle of their hectic school week, students would pause to have genuine conversations about life, God, and the Bible is simply amazing! For weeks now we have excitedly shared stories of students' genuine inquiry about Jesus and the Bible, or a small sign of struggle with their newfound sense of sin. Hearing these stories makes me pause from my busy workday to give praise to God for making each discussion possible, and to offer up a quick prayer for our students. Just as we have been able to bring the message of gospel this quarter through the Alpha series, I eagerly anticipate many other opportunities to praise God and honor His name on the CSUEB campus in the coming year.
