CNCF’s Semester Plan

8/25/2017

Welcome to IU!

Here at Clearnote Campus Fellowship, we want to equip you for the challenges of college life, but we want to do more than that. It may sound strange, especially if you just started college, but our goal is actually to prepare you for life after college. We want you to know what it means to honor the God who made you, and how you can joyfully serve Him in all of life. Here are some of the ways we're doing that this Fall semester…

Mission

We strive to see IU students come to know, love, and obey Jesus Christ.

Goal

We want to produce students who are committed to "contending earnestly for the faith which was once and for all handed down to the saints" (Jude 1:3).

Clearnote Campus Fellowship is an evangelical campus ministry rooted in the local church. We strive to see IU students come to know, love, and obey Jesus Christ.

“…evangelical…”

What does it mean that we're "evangelical"? Does it mean we seek to represent a particular conservative political subgroup? Not at all. "Evangelical" means…

The past two weeks, we've been spending time after our summer Bible study praying for the upcoming semester. Two Tuesdays ago, we read 2 Corinthians 5:17–20:

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

We prayed that God would give us hearts to be His ambassadors, and that He would prepare specific new people who are "weary and heavy-laden" and seeking rest for their souls (Matthew 11:28).

Last night we read 1 Peter 2:9–10:

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

We thanked God for His excellent mercy in calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light. We then asked for God to stir our hearts to serve in particular ways in ministry with CNCF. Students signed up to pray, to plan Welcome Week activities, to plans fellowship events during the year, to plan our Fall Retreat, to greet students at Tuesday-night gatherings on campus, and much more!

All of these ways of participating in ministry are practical ways that we live out our calling as "priests" to IU and Bloomington, because we do these things so that people might be reconciled to God.

We're excited to welcome new students!

Shameless . . . Unashamed

Today we went on campus to help freshman students and their families carry mini-fridges, futons, and other dorm-room paraphernalia from their cars to their new rooms.

This week is Welcome Week. It's one of the University's most intense times of assimilating new students into the decadent culture of the University. Don't know what I mean? Here's a poster that shamelessly adorned the hallway of one floor we were on today:
