Winter Retreat 09

Friday, 30 January 2008 - Sunday 01 February 2008 at Toah Nipi

Our Winter Retreat this year will be from 1/30/09-2/1/09. We'll be heading up to beautiful Toah Nipi Retreat Center in Rindge, NH for a weekend of time with God, rejuvination and fun. We're excited to welcome our speaker Lisa Espineli Chin, the director of International Student Ministries with InterVarsity. She was a keynote speaker at Urbana '03 and 06, InterVarsity's national missions conference. Lisa is a visionary who has a particular heart for international students. She also serves on the board of HOPE International, a non-profit organization focused on poverty alleviation through microenterprise development. Lisa was a Filipeno international student, is married to a Chinese-American man and together they have three children.

We're still brainstorming a topic but it's sure to be along the lines of faith and what it means for your life. If this is your first time at a retreat with AACF be sure to take advantage of our first-timer discount code: FIRSTTIME.

Activities Fair

Wednesday, 04:00pm - 07:00pm, 10 September 2008 at Quad

HRCF, HRAACF and HRBCF (SoulFood) will have tables at the activities fair. Come visit us to find out more about who we are and what we do!

Advance

Wednesday, 3 Sept 2008 - Saturday, 6 Sept 2008 at Camp Bement, Charlton, Mass.

(from http://intervarsityne.org/harvard/advance08/ - Sign up there!)

God is moving across the Harvard campus. And we want to advance with him -- not retreat! We want to see our lives and our friends' lives transformed. We want to see our campus spiritually renewed. We want a ripple effect that goes far and wide. In short, we want to bring the whole gospel to the whole campus to impact the whole world.

You've been invited to Advance 2008 because you are committed to the missions of HRCF, HRAACF, or HRBCF. This will be a critical period to prepare for the upcoming year, to renew our vision for how God wants to transform Harvard, and to get ready to welcome the class of 2012.

Summer can be a very different and often challenging time spiritually. Spend some time reconnecting with God and with your spiritual family before diving back into the Harvard bubble.

Are you ready to advance the Kingdom of God at Harvard?

Capture the Flag! (AFA)

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to disgrace the opposing team through capturing their flag. Jump over guard rails, run through Freshmen hallway as the Yard is turned into a battlefield. Legends have been born through this game, will your name be among the immortals? Come and find out!

Encounter

Saturday, 7:00pm - 9:30pm, 19 April 2008 in Jefferson 250

The Harvard-Radcliffe Asian American Christian Fellowship (HRAACF) would like to invite you to ENCOUNTER, a Boston-wide night of worship that will be held at 7 pm on Saturday, April 19. ENCOUNTER will take place on Harvard's campus in Jefferson Laboratory, room 250. View map HERE.

We envision ENCOUNTER as a time of worship where believers from all over Boston can gather together to praise His name as one voice. Our hope is that God will meet us during this time and inspire in each of us a lifestyle of continual worship and fellowship. The night will be an extended time of musical worship, drama, and possibly body worship, providing different venues for people to encounter God.

We hope to see all of you there-- we're excited about joining believers in Boston to praise God together!

Women's Breakout Session: 6pm 20 Banks
Men's Breakout Session: 6:30pm Emerson 210

Women's Breakout

Hello Ladies! We will be hosting a gender-breakout session this Friday evening at 20 Banks 2nd floor as part of our Women's Ministry effort. To help make this a comfortable time for study and reflection together, we will be cooking dinner before starting a Bible study focused on the issues of grace and identity. Afterwards, those of you who would like to stay and hang out are welcome to. We'll have some dessert, and perhaps a movie or some fun games. Dinner will start at 6 pm, and the study will start around 6:30 and last until about 8 pm. And, please, feel free to join us afterwards to hang out and have fun!

If you would like to join us for dinner, could you please RSVP to both of us? This way, we can plan for how much to cook. (sheilamyung and jenq)

Men's Breakout

Men, What is your Profession?! Come join us as Francis ('00) shares his wisdom to the men! We will be touching on issues of sex (from the married perspective), Asian American male identity, and real male friendships. It's going to be our last chance to hear from him in this setting, so come on out! We'll end early to head over to Paine Hall at 8pm to attend Under Construction's (Harvard's Christian acapella group) concert.
