Spring Retreat April 3-4, 2009
Grace Alive! headed down to Leoni Meadows for a weekend so that we could focus on desiring God's presence...and of course there was time for fellowship and fun!
Meals were enjoyable and delicious, from spaghetti to scrambled eggs to sandwiches...
The drive was about an hour and a half but who can complain with such wonderful company?!
Amazing cabinmates...
Warm campfire on a cold night...with lots of worship, too!
Mr. Perry spoke on the theme of desiring God's presence...here he illustrates what it's like when we control our lives and want to relegate God to the sidecar...
Lots of worship, prayer, and fellowship...

A brief look at what Grace Alive! did during Spring Quarter, between January and March 2009
January 3rd: Kicking off the quarter with our traditional prayer day to ask God to give us grace throughout the quarter...
January 17th: We took a trip up to the snow for a day of play...snowboarding, sledding, snowball fights and everything slushy!
February 6th: We kicked off our Ultimate Questions course, which continued on February 20th and March 6th and will further continue during Spring Quarter, on April 17th, May 1st, and May 15th. This course consists of dinners and times for discussions about big questions relating to God, the meaning of life, the Bible, the person of Christ, sin...anyone is welcome! Read more by clicking on the link at gracealive.net!
February 14th: We had our annual Evening With Grace Alive! fundraiser at GVCC, and this year we had almost 100 kids! The theme was country and included line dancing lessons, lassoing challenges, a cakewalk, crafts and more!
Sarah let the kids put stickers all over her...
...and Jennifer kicked up her heels!
February 21st We had a movie night in the gym...we watched The Ultimate Gift, a thought-provoking movie, and had some delicious snacks!
March 13th Some of the members of GVCC put on a career fair specifically targeted to high school and college students, which included about many booths, about 6o distinct career opportunities and suggestions, and an open forum where we could ask questions!

The rest of Fall Quarter 2008...
Ok everyone I apologize for this very delayed post...I realized I haven't updated the Grace Alive! blog since October, and yet there's been so many exciting things going on! Here's what happened during the rest of Fall Quarter:
October 31st Grace Valley Christian Center, the church we are affiliated with, held a Reformation Day celebration and we attended the play there, written by and starring Grace Alive! members, then some of us helped with the activities for the kids...
November 8 Some of us attended the Causeway Classic where only a few of us were excited by Sac State beating UCDavis for the first time in years!
November 14/15 We had our annual Fall Retreat, which was a great time full of devotion to God, encouragement, praise and worship, wonderful food and fellowship, and of course some fun games!
November 19th Grace Alive! continued our Faith and Reason lecture series by hosting UCDavis professor Richard Spencer...
November 22 The big Thanksgiving Cook-off...Each of the four teams got a budget of under $30 and then were sent to the grocery store to buy enough ingredients to make a meal...plus each team had to come up with a commercial to 'advertise' their dish!
December 5 For our Christmas party, we held a White Elephant party and dessert...besides winning some gifts like fake reindeer-antler headbands and 1-lb bars of Belgian chocolate, it was a great time of fellowship and prayer and thanksgiving for a great quarter! We also exchanged prayer requests and had a great time before going into finals!
December 31st After a couple years of a live lip-syncing competition on New Years Eve, we switched it up a bit this year and instead made lip-synced music videos and watched them together...completely hilarious and completely fun! Then we ate and played games and wished each other a happy, wonderful new year!
That wraps up Fall Quarter 2008...Winter Quarter 2009 coming soon!

Costume Bowling 2008!!!
Our fifth annual Costume Bowling night on October 25th was themed "Hollywood" and everyone had a great time. How can you go wrong when you mix a bowling tournament with costumes with pizza?? We started out the night meeting at the Smiths' house (mostly for pictures) then went to the MU for bowling and then ended the night at the Manukyans' house with pizza, a slideshow, and a short skit by an Ali G look-alike. If a picture is worth a thousand words...how do you describe the night from the photos below? :)
