Last Friday (10/25), we had week 2 of our MYT (multiply your talents) class. The cooking team got a lot of practice as they made delicious finger foods such as deviled eggs, korean pancakes, and more! Other classes include piano, guitar, photoshop, filming, and photography. Check out some of the pictures the photo team took below.

And sure to join us next Friday for the 3rd and last week of MYT. We are going to have a fun “show and tell” for each class- you don’t want to miss it!

Break time, but some people are still practicing guitar

Recap: San Francisco Outing

October 8, 2013October 10, 2013 ericmiao9122 Comments

This past Saturday, IUSM left Davis for beautiful San Francisco and were able to drive into SF on the newly built Bay Bridge.

The day began with people enjoying the world famous clam-chowder at Pier 39.

We then took some funny pictures at “Krazy Kaps”, a store full of wacky hats. People were having a great time wearing flamingo, pharoah, witches, and cowboy hats.

We saw the large and lazy sea lions (海狮) and then left for the Golden Gate Bridge.

What great timing as a boat passing right behind us. Toot, toot!

We were able to walk under the Golden Gate Bridge and over to the Vista Point to take some breathtaking photos. The day was not complete without walking onto the bridge itself and taking group photos together.

The guys are looking as cool as the great weather.

It was the first time for everyone in front of the famous bridge.

Everyone is mimicking the cables on the bridge as a way to connect with it.

Join us next time for future IUSM events!

Wednesday Bible Study Recap: Genesis 1

October 3, 2013 johnclin

Yesterday was our first Wednesday Bible Study of the Fall quarter. We started with a delicious mapo tofu dinner and then had a short icebreaker as we got to know each other better.

Then we had a Bible Study on Genesis 1, learning about how we should approach studying the Bible. Instead of just asking How the world was made, we needed to ask the more important question of Who made everything and Why.

The two main points through Genesis 1 were: 1) Main character is God 2) God is the Creator

We ended our time watching a moving video of God’s creation to the song, God of Wonders. Click on the video to watch.

Hope you can join us next week.

Recap: International Student Welcome Night

September 29, 2013October 10, 2013 johnclinLeave a comment

The much anticipated International Student Welcome Night finally happened on September 20! We had a packed house at SCC Multipurpose Room and we almost ran out of food! After a delicious dinner, we started off the night with a UC Davis trivia game.

: Our game host Brian was explaining the game and also the grand prize of some yummy chocolate.

: The competition was fierce!

: After the excitement, we settled down to watch a funny but thought provoking skit called “Race of a Lifetime”

Our invited speaker, John, gave a short talk on creating and valuing meaningful encounters while we are in college. He recounted his own meaningful encounters that led him to understand Christianity. The audience was attentive throughout the time.

We had a lot of meaningful discussions afterwards as we made new connections with those who came.

We hope to see the many new friends we met that night to come back in the future, and may remember this night as one of the meaningful encounters in their lives!
