This Saturday at 9 AM, we'll all have the opportunity to leave our worries in Worcester as we head off to see the splendor of God's creation on top of Mt. Monadnock. Meet in back of the Wedge with warm clothes and a packed lunch. But first, get your spiritual mindset ready at Friday Night Fellowship, meeting in the Lower Wedge at 7:30 as usual for an evening of singing praises to God and encouraging your brothers and sisters in Christ. Both the Sharing Jesus and James Bible studies will be getting well underway this week. Pray that the Holy Spirit would lead us as we study the word of God.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7 (NIV). Prayer is powerful. Through prayer, we build our relationship with God and find the relief our souls desire. This week, spend more time with God in prayer. Lift up your praises and supplications and listen to what God is telling you. Our schedules may be tight and time may be short, but nothing can compare to the peace of being with God.
If you haven't picked up the new ISC Calendar of Events for A Term, this is a little reminder of what is going on in the next few weeks. On Wednesday, October 2nd, there will be an "Immigration Issues Related to Employment in the U.S." workshop for international students. That will take place in Salisbury Labs, Room 104, and will be from 3:00pm-5:00pm. The following Tuesday, October 8th, at 6:30pm we will hold the second "ISC Coffee Hour" in the Higgins House Library, and at 4:30pm on Wednesday, October 9th, we will have the third ISC General Meeting of the term. The meeting will be once again in Morgan A. That's all as far as ISC events are concerned, for the time being. Keep an eye out for the other International Club meetings and events.
For those of you who don't know, we provide audio, lighting and projection for the campus and community. Some of our more visible projects are the lighting and sound for Masque's productions, the movies on Sundays, and the sound for such events as the Pub shows, or the Coffeehouse shows put on by Soccomm.
If you have any interest in sound, lighting, or projection, feel free to join our club. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn. If you are interested, you can e-mail the officers at lnl@wpi.edu, or attend one of our regular meetings. They're held every Wednesday at 4:30 in Atwater Kent 233. If nothing else, each week you may get to see the president make a fool of himself. For further information, you may e-mail the officers (lnl@wpi.edu), or drop us a line at x5595. We look forward to meeting you.
We hope that your school year has so far atleast been a fruitful one, if not necessarily a happy one. On Saturday, the 21st, we would have Insha'Allah had our first bi-weekly get together and pot-luck lunch; and we look forward to more in the future, Insha'Allah; so that in keeping up with our college education, we do not forget our duty to Allah. Remember, that one of the best ways to keep one's faith strong in Islam is to keep in close contact with the Muslim community; and considering we're college students, its also one of the best ways to get a hold of some free food! Therefore, we encourage as much participation in our regular activities as possible. We, the Executive Committee, are now having regular meetings on Tuesdays, to discuss future plans for MSA; and we will do our best, Insha'Allah, to keep you posted. Remember: We want as much input as possible from you guys as well (checks and credit cards NOT accepted). Assalaam-u-alaikum.
