This week we are mixing things up – THERE IS NO MEETING TONIGHT – instead we are having our weekly meeting on Friday!
Bring your parents and family to celebrate what God is doing in our ministry and to let them experience the great community that we have as SloCru!
Hey Slo Cru, Men’s and Women’s retreats are happening this weekend. We hope you are getting stoked, and if you need the details again, here they are:
Men’s retreat
- 52980 Road 200 Oneals California
- Arrive Friday March 30 6pm for dinner and setup, first meeting at 8pm
- Make sure to bring camping gear for the cold, food, and your Bibles!
Women’s retreat
- Reality, 1954 Goodyear Avenue, Ventura, CA 93003
- Registration begins at 4pm, first meeting at 6pm
- Bring sleeping bag and overnight stuff, workout clothes for free time, and your Bible and journal!
If you haven’t heard what Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is yet, check out the last post, which explains what Slo Crusade will be helping out with on November 11th and 12th.
Now that you are as excited as we are to be doing this, get ready for it to get even better. At the FMSC food packaging event, volunteers can bring 1-5+ cans to donate to the SLO Food Bank for their seasonal can collection campaign. This way, we can also love the people in need in our own community.
Finally, the Pappas family has decided to donate their sweet surf wagon to go towards the event! You can read more about their decision to give up this beautiful car, and their heart for FMSC at the Pappas family blog.
Anyone who donates $10 or more towards the FMSC food packaging (online, or at the event) will be eligible to win the surf wagon. They will have the car at the next two SLO Farmers Markets, and be selling tickets to win the wagon and support FMSC.
Now that you are stoked, tell your friends!
Feed My Starving Children is a food packaging event where we will put together 200,000 meals for malnourished children in Third World countries. SLO Crusade will be partnering with other students and clubs on our campuses to help feed the hungry!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
To volunteer and help package the meals click here.
To donate click here. By choosing to give up $15 (equal to fasting from two meals) you could fully cover the cost of the food you will package. The $15 you give up will feed a child for over a month! By simply fasting from two meals you will provide a child with nearly 63 meals!
WHEN: November 11-12 for all day Friday and Saturday. There will be ten packaging shifts over the two days. The shifts last 1 ½ hours each and you can choose one of the ten that works with your schedule. Below is the shift schedule, I am sure everyone can find an 1 ½ to sacrifice for such a worthy cause!
WHERE: Mountainbrook Community Church. 1775 Calle Joaquin. San Luis Obispo, CA 93405

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:16-18 NIV

Calling the men of Sig Ep Fraternity and SLO Crusade!
On Sunday, February 13th from 2-5pm……..
We are joining forces for the most epic car wash of the century!
This event has 2 purposes:
1. To support Compass Education Foundation, a non-profit that provides scholarships to local healthcare students.
2. To bridge the gap between the SLO Crusade and Greek communities.
What to bring:
-Towels, paper towels, sponges, car soap, vacuums, or any other cleaning products you have.
Participation in car washing is strictly for Sig Ep and SLO Crusade guys, but anyone is welcome to drive through with their cars.
We will be asking car owners for donations to support Compass Education Foundation
Let’s get pumped and bring big numbers of guys out! This event has potential to be way more awesome than just a car wash!
Also, after the car wash we will be sending in a group of men to clean the Sig Ep house as well, as a way to serve them!

The Veritas Forum is bringing some amazing events this upcoming Monday through Tuesday that you do NOT want to miss!
(Seriously, if you have to miss it you’ll want to be sneaking the livestream online while you’re doing whatever it is that’s keeping you from coming!)
So, what is the Veritas Forum?
Well here’s what they have to say about themselves: “Engaging students and faculty in discussions about life’s hardest questions and the relevance of Jesus Christ to all of life.”
The word Veritas means truth in Latin, so naturally this year’s forum is titled “A Journey for Truth”
There are still spots left to sign up for Fall Retreat
You can still GO!
