This Sunday, April 13, at 4pm will be an Acting/Theatrical Live Performance put on by some of the International Student Ministry and Koin students who’ve been working hard the past 3 weeks for this show! Here’s an explanation of the performance:

When was the last time you heard some good news? Good news can be uplifting, unexpected, or totally shift your perspective. Join us as we see why Christians call Christianity’s main message the "good news"! There will be a lot of entertaining and engaging mini-theatrical performances answering the deep questions of life like “Why Doesn’t God Just Appear?” or “Why Can’t God Just Forgive”?

Come see your friends act, move props, do tech, and more, for this acting/theatrical live performance! Snacks will be provided! Feel free to invite any friends who may be interested as well!

Location: Rides from 2222 Rio Grande Street, Suite 250  

Enjoy a women's spring break Saturday fun event at Farmer's Market (shopping for various gifts/foods from local vendors), Activate fun group games in the Domain Mall, and lunch together!

This Friday night, we will volunteer at a nursing home for the elderly. The elderly often don't have frequent visitors and are lonely, so we want to spend this holiday as an opportunity to talk to them, sing Christian songs, and provide a gift. We'll have dinner together afterwards, and then go to a nearby home (bros and sisters separate this night) to have yummy homemade desserts/appetizers/snacks, receive a gift from older mentors, build relationships, do many fun activities, and then have rides back home after!

本周五晚上，我们将前往敬老院做志愿服务。敬老院的许多老人很少有人探望，时常感到孤独，因此我们希望在这个特别的节日里陪伴他们，与他们聊天、唱敬拜歌曲，并送上小礼物，让他们感受到温暖和关爱。 之后，我们将一起享用晚餐，然后男生女生分开聚会，品尝美味的自制甜点、开胃小吃，接受导师的礼物，建立友谊，参与丰富有趣的活动，结束后送大家回家！
