Dear friends and Fellows,

Happy New Year!!  We are excited about the events the Institute has to offer over the next few months.

We begin with Three Rivers Run Through It, a seminar by Jerry Root on Tuesday, January 27  7-9pm, at the Federal House upper room.  This will be a dessert & coffee event.  Jerry is a C.S. Lewis Scholar and an author whose books are part of our Fellows readings. He will be speaking on the three "big ideas" of C.S. Lewis.  Mark your calendar to attend.  You can register here to attend.

For our Fellows past and present, we have booked Randy Newman (author and apologist) to conduct an apologetics seminar on February 27 and 28. Randy is a gifted speaker and facilitator and will be working with our Fellows to sharpen their apologetic skills.

In March we will have a dessert/coffee seminar with Terry Lindvall on Wednesday, March 11, 7-9pm, at the Federal House upper room.  Terry will be speaking on: "If C.S. Lewis met Stephen Colbert, Thoughts about Humor, Culture, and Joy."  Terry is also a C.S. Lewis Scholar and this event promises laughter and challenging thought.  A separate invitation will be sent for you to register for this event.

For our Mentors past and present, Terry will be our speaker at our annual Mentor Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, March 12, 6:30-9pm, at the Treaty of Paris restaurant.  Terry will provide mentor training mixed with great humor. 

If you are considering participating in the Fellows Program for the 2015-2016 year, we will begin accepting applications February 1st and applications will be due by April 30th. Watch this page for the applications to go online.

Below is our calendar of events for the coming year. Please mark your calendars and plan to participate as often as possible.

We at the C.S. Lewis Institute wish all of you a Happy New Year and look forward seeing you at these outstanding seminar events in 2015.


Blessings all...

Amy's Corner:

 

Happy New Year!!! I am looking forward to this coming semester at St. John's! Jim, Ann and I are excited to welcome back students to our fellowship groups and hear about their holidays. We will start up our fellowships again this coming week, with the men meeting on Tuesday evening, January 6, at 7:30pm, and the women on Wednesday, January 7, at 2:30pm. 

I am very excited that our Lewis Reading Group is going to kick off the semester with C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. I've been looking forward to reading this book with everyone for a while now. Please pray for this group and especially for those who come who are not believers. We'll meet as usual in the BBC's General Hartle room at 7:00pm on Sundays. Students should watch campus emails and flyers for exact dates!

We will be starting up another women Fellows alumae group in the next month or so, so be watching for that announcement! 

It's been an amazing year this past year, and I'm excited for all that the Lord has in store for the Institute and St. John's in 2015! Please continue to pray for the students, faculty and staff at St. John's.

 

Love, 

 

Amy
