Club Corner


BiLaGA

Hi all! Lots of things are going on this week: we're co-sponsoring the cafe for And Baby Makes Seven, the Masque show this weekend. We need people to help with the baking on Wednesday, and to work at the cafe Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Email bilaga@wpi.edu if you want to help out. Friday (February 12) is "National Freedom to Marry Day" and we'll have some events for that, too. Look for email announcements and flyers.

If you want to be on the BiLaGA mailing list, email bilaga@wpi.edu and we'll set you up. We have social meetings every week, and regular meetings every two weeks. Email to find out when and where.


Christian Bible Fellowship

I hope that everyone's classes are going well and that all are enjoying the winter weather. On Tuesday Night we will be having prayer time in Founders at 9:30 and we will be having Friday Night Fellowship in the lower wedge at 7:00. Anyone interested in either of these activities can e-mail cbf@wpi.edu.

"Therefore since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of the sharing of the glory of God" Romans 5:1-2 (NRSV)

In this passage, Paul tells how we have received God's grace through faith. But even the faith that we exhibit, which enables us to receive Gods grace, comes initially from God's gift of grace. This gift of grace is also responsible for giving us saving faith. In addition to saving faith, God's gift of grace gives us so much more. From His gift of grace, we have peace and fellowship with him, and we also share His glory. As a Christian, if you look at your life, you will be able to find an infinite number of examples of God's grace.


Concert Choir

Hi everyone! A belated congratulations on an excellent performance at RPI. There was a lot of concentration despite the lack of an audience. Well done.

We have a concert this Sunday, February 14th (yes, on Valentine's Day), at Higgins Armory here in Worcester. We'll meet in Alden at 1:45, with the concert being around 3:00. Dribble will lead us in holiday celebrations afterward, so stick around!


Masque

This week, Masque presents "And Baby Makes Seven." Don't miss this show! Come on down, bring friends, and show off what this school's theatre department is capable of. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: People put their hearts and souls into these performances, so give them your support (and have a great time too!!)

And (repeating myself yet again) - Fridays at 4:30, come hang out in the Alden Hall Green Room. Take part in the trivia. Win prizes!! All sorts of fun stuff goes on here. E-mail trail@wpi.edu if you want to be on the mailing list and get in on the action.


Newman Club

It seems that some of our members and friends are still trying to thaw out since the tailgating party on the Quad over a week ago. Right now we are very busy getting ready for our annual retreat which this year is going to held on Saturday, Feb.20th in Higgins House. The retreat opens at 1:00 PM and will close about 6:00 PM followed by supper. Father Thomas Sullivan, the chancellor of the Diocese of Worcester, will give the opening talk and then our retreat group will take it from there. The retreat group/committee has been hard at work under the leadership of Meagan Rivard. They have met every Sunday after the 11:30 AM Mass since Thanksgiving break. If you wish to attend the retreat e-mail either Meagan at mvrivard or Fr.Scanlon at priest.

In the meantime Jennifer Roy is putting together our annual Appalachia in Worcester Project for Youville House, a shelter for battered women and their children. Hopefully we will have a feature article in a future edition of Newspeak. The article will give you information about Youville House, what we do there and how to sign up for the project.

Don't forget that we have an 11:30 AM Mass in Alden and a 5:00 PM Mass in Founders every Sunday.

Our Faith and Discussion Group meets every Wednesday night at 8:30 PM in the Religious Center. You are welcome at all of these events.


Science Fiction Society

The SFS had new officer elections a few weeks ago. Here's the list of new officers: President- Mike Galvin (hey, wasn't he the prez once before?). Vice President- Justin Brzozoski (he used to be an officer too...). Secretary- Corrie Bergren (I'm sensing a trend..). Treasurer- Seth Hardy (The only officer who hasn't serve before) And last, but not least, the Librarian is once again Lucas McCauslin.

The true names of the officers have been revealed, but they shall not be revealed here. Go to the meetings if you want to find out. The new president chose to forgo the traditional welcome to his office (in other words, he skipped the meeting to miss the pig pile).

The SFS has meetings every Wednesday at 7:12pm in Olin Hall room 107. Be there or be mundane.
