Year End Reflections

This week students are heading into finals.

This weekend our seniors are graduating and moving on.

And at the end of May, we will begin our first ever Summer Chi Alpha meetings!

It’s a time of transition, part of the annual ritual for the high achieving and highly motivated students of UC Berkeley. Fortunately during our last Chi Alpha meeting of the Spring semester, we were able to slow things down for one evening and really reflect on everything God has done this past year before leaping ahead into the next phase of our lives

Instead of the usual message from the Bible, we had a testimony night where students could share the things God had done this past year. And as we stop and reflect on it, it really quite extraordinary:

• Our staff pastor John recently just completed his first full academic year here in Berkeley.

• We just celebrated our first full year of actually meeting on campus and not in someone’s living room!

• We completed our first semester with designated student leaders and have even chosen new leaders for next year

• Many of our students testified that this year had been a year of tremendous spiritual growth for them

• Several went as far as to say that these past few months were the best ever in respect to their relationship with God within a Christian community.

It’s a honor to serve this campus community! It’s a privilege to worship and proclaim Jesus alongside these amazing students who will change the world in ways we can only guess. We look forward to what God is going to do this summer and this fall and we expect even greater things.
