Friends,
Our first fellowship is scheduled for this Friday! It will be exciting see you all again! God has been good to us and the semester has started really well. I am sure there are many stories with which we all need to catch up. Here are a few things I suggest you consider prior to the meeting.
Needs: our activities are not yet etched in stone. These, I propose, should relate directly or indirectly to our fellowship needs. Sam and I met recently and have a list of good ideas to pursue for this semester but we decided that the best way forward will be to listen to you the members. We want to get an idea of your hopes for this semester; what your areas of need might be, and what your thoughts are concerning our ideas. When we have heard from you Sam and I will be better assured of the way forward as we do the rest of the fine tuning.
Diaries: Please note that there might be a slight change in dates for our meetings. So please update and carry your diary to the meeting. Our first fellowship is scheduled for this Friday!

On Friday evening it will be a simple agenda.
We start at 5:30pm with singing and brief worship; self introductions and welcoming the new students/ families among us.
6:00 dinner and conversation (please remember it is a potluck dinner. Carry sufficient food for you and your family plus one or two friends).
6:30 one continuing student will speak about his/ her experience at Asbury Seminary; followed by discussion of seminary survival.
7:00 House-keeping: future events, dates, blog, treasurer,
8:00 prayer and adjourn.
We are blessed to have child care this semester. Gray is a graduate student in the Intercultural program and has graciously offered to look after our kids. All parents with kids here please let me know today or, at the latest tomorrow the names and ages of all the children so I can pass them along to Gray for her timely preparation.
Thank you all. . . I look forward to seeing you again on Friday.
Robert Magoola
President.
