First Thursday Meeting is Tomorrow!

Howdy all!

As we begin to get into the flow of this semester, it also means the beginning of CBL Thursday night meetings (Whoop!). Tomorrow, January 26, will be the first meeting of the semester; however, we do not have our new members who are joining for the Spring. This Thursday will be a shorter meeting, with the primary purpose being fellowship and reconnecting. Also, we are going to use this opportunity as a chance to outline the events for this semester, along with handling some administrative issues.

Thanks and Gig 'Em

Prayer!!!

The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective! James writes these words as a call for the people of God to pray for one another for all things. CBL meets every week right outside of Wehner to worship God and to call to Him in prayer. This semester we desire our prayers for CBL to be a reflection of Paul's prayer in Ephesians 6:19, " Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel." We desire to be used by God on this campus, in this community, and for the rest of our lives, to proclaim the mystery of the gospel to every single person we come in contact with. We desire to grow closer to the Lord this semester as we seek to memorize and hide God's Word in our hearts. Please be praying for God to unite us as one body and give us boldness as we proclaim His name to the Texas A&M Campus, the city of Bryan/College Station and eventually the world!

Reunited... And it feels so good!

Happy New Year from your friendly neighborhood CBL staff! We hope you all had a fantastic break and are as excited as we are about what God has in store for us this semester!

So, we don't have an official meeting until next Thursday, the 26th, but we just can't wait that long to see you. We are going to have a social this coming Thursday the 18th at 6:00 at the Woodlands apartments to play volleyball! The courts are lit and the weather is forecasted in the upper 60's so it should be a great time! There's no way anyone has homework yet... right? So come out and hang with us!

Also, as the semester begins, we hope that everyone involved in or with CBL, be it parents, members, alumni, whomever, would be in prayer for our organization. We are excited and hopeful that God will use us in powerful ways this year for His kingdom, but we know that for the plans he has put on our hearts to be successful, we must be in communion with Him daily. Please pray that He would be our rock and our guide as we work for His glory this semester!

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me by still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths righteousness for His name's sake."
Psalm 23:1-3
