Students spent a weekend at Little Galilee Christian Camp with students from Illinois State University and Western Illinois University for our annual Winter Retreat!  This year's speaker, Randy Gariss, challenged perspectives on wholeness and health in relationships, and started lots of important conversations for our students in thinking about their own relationships.

Fall is full of opportunities for students to worship together, serve the campus and the community, and show Jesus to the campus!

We have a TON of ways for you to connect with CSF over the next few weeks!  

It's hard to believe, but it's already here:  Classes at the University of Illinois begin 2 weeks from today!  About 400 new freshmen will step foot on campus for their first year of classes and in addition to questions like "How do I get to the classrooms in Brookens?" or "Will my icard work at Starbucks?" (the answer is yes!), there will be some other questions, maybe buried a little deeper, but still there.   Questions like,

"Is anyone going to think I'm valuable?"
"What is my life going to be about?"
"Do I have anything to offer the world?"

Christian Student Fellowship is a place where we hope students will find those answers.  (See, we've already helped with your coffee addiction!) .  We believe that all of us were created by a God who loves us and wants a relationship with us.  But humankind started looking elsewhere for meaning and love, and that just led to a place many in the world find filled with frustration and pain and emptiness.  CSF believes that God wants to bring his children back to that original plan for relationship.  CSF is all about helping students find their way back to God.  We hope you'll join us in that this Fall!
