Welcome all the prefrosh!

Tomorrow is the first day of classes at Caltech, and we're excited to welcome in the new freshmen. Friday evening, those of us who were here gathered in Avery library, and the prefrosh out-numbered the upperclassmen! It was a very blessed time as we sang some songs, introduced each other, answered the questions the prefrosh had, and socialized over frozen yogurt at Cherry on Top. Prefrosh, I know I'm going to forget your names -- there were just so many of you!

Next up on the schedule is the club fair Wednesday afternoon. We normally will have Monday night large groups, but we're skipping this week due to rotation. If you're a prefrosh, make sure to sign up at our table for our mailing lists. If you're an upperclassmen, come by and spend some time talking with the prefrosh and each other! Then we have our big kick-off large group of the term on Monday, October 3, from 7:30 to 9pm in Avery library again.

I hope this blog is a useful communication method for this year. Look for a post soon about the pre-term retreat which happened about a week ago.

Welcome to the CCF Blog!

Hello everyone! This is the blog for Caltech Christian Fellowship, one of the Christian student groups at Caltech. The blog will be written for students, primarily by students, and hopefully including many things such as:
  • Large group recaps
  • Retreat reflections
  • Dig-in wrap-ups
  • Ministry opportunities
  • Book/music recommendations
  • Anything else we think to include
For those who remember it, this blog will serve a similar role as the old Fishline newsletter. If you're a CCF member and want to be able to write for the blog, let me (Sam) know and I can add you as an author. This is a new experiment, so there might be some hiccups along the way, but I hope the blog can be a useful resource to the entire fellowship.
