Check out UISCSF on Facebook and Twitter, too!  "I love The Edge! I now have something to look forward to on Monday nights: fellowship with friends, worship and word! The Edge gives me another reason to focus on God and the things of God and it allows me another opportunity to open His word and see where I can apply it to my life for the rest of the week. The Edge provides centering for fellow believers and a welcoming environment for those of us who are finding our way back to Him."
- Remelle Hoskins, UIS Senior The Edge is Christian Student Fellowship's weekly worship service on Monday nights at 9pm in the Student Life Building Multi-Purpose Room. The Edge begins on Monday, August 22nd!  "Our trip changed the way I view missions. It showed me how God can use someone from any profession, background, and any talent to further his kingdom. Seeing how God calls completely normal people to do completely amazing things was eye opening for me. I realized God can use me for missions if I just allow him to even in the simple things. If we're willing he will use us!"
Megan Moran LLCC, Nursing Student While many students pack up their belongings and move back home for the summer, there are many who stay in Springfield. We had some great times playing yard games, learned alot about the book of Revelation, ate and prayed together, and took a roadtrip to the National Student Conference. It's been real, but it's time to get ready for a NEW SCHOOL YEAR - See you SOON!
 Summer is here, and while you may not be spending it in a swimsuit on the beach, it can still be a great time to catch up with friends, rest and relax, and grow spiritually! At our last Edge, David shared some resources for your Summer Survival.... May is hard. |
Christian Student Fellowshipis a place for students at the University of Illinois Springfield who are on a spiritual journey. Whether you're just starting out or you've been headed this way for awhile, we want to help you find your way back to God! Archives
