Mondays this semester we've been studying the 7 I AM statements of Jesus....the Door, Light of the World, Bread of Life, Good Shepherd....setting aside some incorrect things we've learned about Jesus and letting him introduce himself to us in his own words.

Don't miss the CSF Fall Retreat!! 

If you want to grow spiritually this year, coming to The Edge once a week isn't enough.....join a CSF Small Group!!   Sign up at The Edge this Monday.

Coming to college can be a scary, exciting adventure.  CSF is a place where you can find other students just like you - - students who like to eat nachos, throw a frisbee, ask spiritual questions, and look for meaning.  CSF is all about helping students like you find their way back to God.

Launch Day is 1 day set aside to help fund high-impact events during the first few weeks of the school year.  Every year we meet hundreds of students through these events, and recognize each one as an opportunity to help them find their way back to God.  WE NEED YOU to give on Launch Day, August 2nd, so we can continue to make a difference at UIS!
​

Be a part of launching CSF into a new school year by funding high impact events that reach  students at the University of Illinois Springfield!

One Day. 
One Campus. 
$7,500 Goal.

Join us on Facebook this August 2nd!

We were getting ready to take our traditional CSF picture at one of this summer's weddings with students and staff from various years when our white-haired friend insisted he should be in the photo.

And he was right.  Ken Wells is probably the oldest CSF'er.  

When CSF began at Sangamon State University in 1993, Ken Wells was one of the very first Board Members.  Despite not having any money, experience, and no idea what we were doing, Ken was always the first to say, "God knows what He's doing!"

23 years later, Ken's grandson, Josh, was a student at UIS and found a faith community at CSF.  This past weekend, Josh got married surrounded by family, friends, and the CSF community.

Many of our students will never know Ken Wells.  They may not know his name or be able to pick him out in a crowd, but hundreds of men and women at UIS have found their way back to God because of Ken and faithful men and women like him. 

God's fingerprints are all over this picture!
