You may have received information in the mail recently about the 12 Stories of CSF, or you've started hearing about it on social media.  EIther, way, we hop you join us in pushing the mission forward by giving to CSF before December 31st!  Help us reach the goal of $15,000 to be fully funded by year's end!

This year, we've been excited to have a large number of Nigerian students involved in CSF!  Both undergraduates and graduate students, these students are involved in Monday Night Worship, small groups, worship team, International Student Outreach, and many more areas.  Last week we had a special night to learn all about their culture, eat Nigerian food, and learn some of their dances.  What a great opportunity for American and International Students to learn more about one another!

October gave us lots of opportunities to connect with students at UIS!  CSF hosted the first ever Spooky Bingo Night - Costumes, Bingo, food and prizes brought over 60 students to the Student Center Ballroom for a spooky-fun night!

It was also the month of the UIS International Festival!  CSF hosted a table and handed out hot Nigerian chocolate "tea".  

Every Monday night at 8pm, students from UIS and LLCC join together for a time of worship and teaching from the Bible.  Most Mondays we're in the UIS Student Center Ballroom, some weeks it's the Student Life Building Gym, but every Monday night it's a place where students can encounter God and be known by Him - because we know that changes everything!
