Belonging Dinner x Writing Home Open Mic

In November, Campus United UVic celebrated the semester’s end with a crossover event between our two programs: Belonging Dinner x Writing Home Open Mic! Our evening began with cooking Zimbabwean stew and sadza, led by Thembelihle Moyo. Dinner was followed by a candle-lit open mic, where ten students shared their creative writing and music. Students engaged creatively with the program, including bracelet-making, painting, and playing instruments. The open mic was inclusive, with several students sharing it was their first time performing for an audience. We were joined by thirty student participants and look forward to another open mic next semester!

connecting with God

Pause in your scrolling and take a moment to rest as Aaron reads from Psalm 1. Take a moment to connect with God as Aaron reads an excerpt from Psalm 63. If you enjoyed this video, join us this Tuesday in Aaron’s office for our weekly Quiet Worship - 6015 Walter Gage Road, Room 125.

Psalm 1 describes the foundation of the Christian life. Beginning with verse 1, there is a progression from following to sitting in stagnation. Yet farther along, the psalmist speaks of those who follow God and meditate on God’s word. They lead a joyful life, like fruitful trees by streams of water.

Consider the distinction between simply sitting and being planted. What are you sitting on that you’d like to change? How can you be planted in God today?
