I just returned to campus from my first Christian retreat with Campus Crusade aka Cru. Campus Crusade is a Christian organization that meets in the IMU on Thursday nights. I have only been a member for two weeks, but I have met so many people already. Fall Getaway was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was filled with the Holy Spirit. If you are an incoming freshman or if you are already a student and don’t have a strong Christian community to spend time with, Cru is definitely the place for you. We left Campus on Friday for our retreat, which took place only a half hour away from campus. The trip was also not very expensive. Our speaker for the weekend was Bob Fuhs. I had never heard of him before, but he taught us a lot over the entirety of the weekend. We also had times where we could separate into male and female group, so we could talk about more personal things. The bible camp was absolutely gorgeous. Here are some photos to prove my point…
Also at the retreat there was a talent show that consisted of singers, dancers, impersonators, and musicians. Fall Getaway was an experience that I will never forget. If you are an incoming freshman or a current student that does not have a strong Christian community, Cru is the place for you. Here is a link to their website if you would like to know some more info. Check it out and I hope to see you there!!
