Christian Bible Fellowship

I hope that everyone had a great first week of classes. Tonight, we will be having Tuesday Night Prayer at 9:30 PM in Founders, and we will be having Friday Night Fellowship at 7:00 PM in the Lower Wedge. Anyone wanting additional information can e-mail cbf@wpi.edu.

"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:19-20 (NIV)

Do you praise God continually? For most of us, the answer would be no. Some of those that answered "no" however, would go on to add that they are trying. In the above verses, Paul gives examples of how we can praise God continually. One of the more familiar ways that we praise God is through the singing of songs, hymns and spiritual songs. In addition to singing verbally, in the above passage, we are also shown that we can praise God by singing these same hymns, psalms and spiritual songs in our hearts. The last example that Paul gives in this passage is giving thanks to God for everything, not just the really big things, but everything. When thinking about how you can praise God continually, I hope that these examples given by Paul will help you.

Concert Choir

Wednesday rehearsal has moved back a half hour, and now runs from 6:00 pm to 8:00; Sunday rehearsals remain from 7:00 pm to 9:00.

We have to be at RPI on Friday by 6:00; departure details will be announced at rehearsal and via email. There is a party that night, with the concert being the next day at 3:30. It should end around 5:30 and we'll hit the road back home immediately afterward, unless you have other plans.

Masque

Hi again! Hope the holidays were cool for everyone. Now is the time to get those plays and scenic designs submitted! February 1st is the deadline, so get cracking. Guidelines for submission are in the Humanities office and on the web at http://www.wpi.edu/~masque. Please submit as soon as possible!

And Baby Makes Seven.. Help out. Be a sport.

Newman Club

This coming Sunday, January 31st, also known as Superbowl Sunday, the Newman Club along with Healthy Alternatives and SGA is sponsoring a SUPERBOWL TAILGATING PARTY on the quad from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. There will be hamburgers, hotdogs,chips and soda - all free. So bring yourself to the tailgating Party and then at 6:00 PM go watch the superbowl game on a huge screen on the lower wedge. It will be like tailgating at Foxboro and watch the game from a sky box. You may not know this but the people who rent the sky boxes at pro football games actually watch the game on a TV screen.

Our Executive Board met last night and we have several events planned for C Term. We will be going to Wright's Chicken Farm, going snowtubing, having a retreat weekend and a video and pasta night. In addition Fr. S. will be having his famous suppers on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Watch your mail box for an invitation to his suppers and watch future additions of Newspeak for the dates of the other events.

In the meantime, do not forget our Faith and Discussion group every Wednesday night at 8:30 PM in the Religious Center. Know also that you are always welcome to join us at Sunday Masses which are at 11:30 AM in Alden and 5:00 PM in Founders. As a matter of fact you are always welcome to join us at any of our events.

Society for Medieval Arts and Sciences

C-term is going to be very busy for us, because our medieval faire is scheduled for April. In an effort to organize this early, there have been changes made to the meeting format. Meetings will once again be at 7:00pm, and will begin with committee work. Regular business will be taken care of afterwards. If you aren't on a committee yet (games, food, historical, prizes, armor, props, entertainment or publicity), but would like to sign up, email the officers.

Court will be held on Tues. Jan 26. The Feb. 2 meeting will be entirely a faire workshop to jumpstart the process. Also, in preparation for our many entertainments, the bardics guild will be starting regular practices (day and time to be announced). Anyone interested in medieval music of any kind is welcome to attend.

Realms Thurs. night fight practices have been moved to Saturdays, starting 1/30 (no practice on 1/28). Several of these will be in character. The Eventgoers meeting is being hosted here in Kinnicut hall on 1/23, in preparation for the Eventholders meeting next week. The club will also be pre-reg'ing for the Feast of Rhiassa. Only people who bring money to the officers by the meeting on 1/26 will be included in the group. Hope everyone stays involved!

Meetings are Tuesdays at 7pm in Founders Basement. Fight practices are Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30. For more information, email the officers at realms@wpi.edu.

Student Government Association

The last SGA meeting was held last Tuesday, on January 19th in the Lower Wedge at 6:00 P.M. The transfer of power between the 8th session executive board and Senate and the 9th session occurred, and President Anne-Marie Chouinard, Vice-President Angela Malaquias, Secretary Ernest DiMicco, and Treasurer Jeff Brownson were sworn in by Parliamentarian Tom Winrow. Like the 8th session executive board, the 9th session board is very interested in having student input, and is dedicated to the concept of campus unity. Anyone that is interested in becoming involved with SGA should stop by the SGA Office in the Wedge and speak with a Senator there. SGA has a lot to do in the coming weeks, and invites anyone that wants to "lend a hand" to do so. Any questions about SGA can be sent to sga@wpi.edu The next SGA meeting will be on Tuesday, January 26th, at 6:00 P.M. in the Lower Wedge; feel free to attend and see what SGA is all about!
