*This Friday we will all be at SHIFT so there will be no large group! Don’t forget to check out small groups!*
1. Next Friday
February 5th we will have our large group meeting at 6:30. Brad Watson will be our speaker for the evening and we have an awesome social planned- Make A Movie Night! We will all be making movies and then watching them after - so be sure to bring a camera that records and any plugs (or cords, or memory cards) that will be needed to put the video onto a laptop.
2. FLIP IT
Together we are planning an event in which we can share the Good News at the University of Windsor. For some of you, we know it sounds like a scary thing to do, but it is something that we as Christians are called to do and we are promised the power, guidance, peace, protection, and even the creativity and boldness of the Holy Spirit in order to FLIP IT!
If you are ready to do something new, to see your faith grow, to build up our fellowship into a truly witnessing community and more importantly to share the LIFE that is found in Jesus with others on campus…this is for you!!!
To get involved, write to ivcf.windsor@gmail.com and we will add you to the Facebook group which has information about upcoming meetings, words of encouragement, and more.
Next meeting: Friday February 5th, 4:30 pm. We will be meeting at the CAW Centre at the info desk and will be reviewing material on how to lead a Group Investigation God (GIG) and studying John 1:35-51 together.
3. GP’s
What are you doing this summer?
One of the Core Values of IVCF Canada is to Grow a Missional Commitment. This is to affirm God’s call that all Christians are called to serve Him through their lives and work and to participate in the global mission of the church by praying, giving and serving.
In order to help facilitate opportunities for students to grow in this, we offer Global and Urban Partnerships.
Attached you will see the GPs and UP available to you as a University of Windsor IVCF member for this summer (Central Ontario). Take the time to review the attached and if you feel led to find out more information, contact Susan (our Staff Worker) and she will help guide you through the process.
To begin the process:
1) If there is a partnership of interest, first contact Susan Tarcia (starcia@ivcf.ca) our Windor Staff Worker.

Notes about deadlines:
Guatemala:
(This is the trip that Susan will be helping to staff. It’s considered a “beginner’s GP” and it is only 15 days long. It’s a great way to get some experience doing ministry in a cross-cultural setting to see if this is something you’d like to pursue further in the future. It is always great to go with people from your own campus!)
