Bellevue Kickoff!

Hello, friends! 

This week, Bellevue University started with its first bible study of the year. Well, to be fair, it wasn't actually a bible study. As per Bellevue InterVarsity tradition, our first event of the year was game night. The plan was simple: order some pizzas, play some games, and get to know one another. 

Another tradition of mine is that I always order too much food for the Bellevue Kickoff. I don't know if it's my optimism or just a value ingrained in me that we should never run out of food (thanks, Mama and Papa!) but I'm always going to over order. Based on our initial invitations and such, we knew that we'd probably have between 5-15 people at kickoff, which means that 3 large pizzas would probably be plenty. Did I order 4 just in case? Yes I did. Did Dominos give me an extra one because they accidentally cut the pizza wrong? Yes they did. Was it too much food? Yes it was. Did I partake of another Bellevue InterVarsity tradition by going around the student center trying to give away food? Yes I did. Do I regret any of it? No I don't. =0). 

Our crew was mostly regulars from last year but we did have 2 new students, which was nice. Neither of our plant winners from tabling showed up, so we played games to determine the winners. We played "Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza" and "Uno", and all friendships remained in tact. 

From here, our student leader will be leading bible studies and I won't be there regularly. I may try to get out there another time through the semester to support our student leader but we'll see. Either way, I'll continue to pray for the Bellevue students and that their community will grow in love for Jesus and in love for one another. 

Have an excellent day!
