Dim Sum Recap

September 25, 2015September 27, 2015 xzhuangLeave a comment

What’s missing from beginning of the school year, without some good Chinese Dim Sum in Sacramento. There are sure some yummy food, and good varieties that we tasted. Just looking at the picture makes me hungry for more again!

This was just the beginning. We sure missed good Chinese food in Davis. Petition for a quality Chinese Dim Sum restaurant anyone?

Some of us went to visit Old Sac to visit some old sites:

Looks at the wide varieties of candies!

Visiting the Railroad Museum, of trains from long ago…

Walking along the river in Old Sac. Anyone spot some seals?

This past Friday, we went over the true meaning of being lost in life. John gave us a Bible Study on the Prodigal Son and through the passage we learned that one can be lost when we reject God, either to chase after our own desires or even to live a normal life by ourselves. After Bible Study we tested our cooking skills and saw what kind of night market food we can make for $10 or under (our group spend $11…). Check out the pics below! Beware you might get hungry. See you at the next Bible Study!

College Winter Retreat

January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 kaihonleeLeave a comment

This past Martin Luther King Jr weekend, we went to the annual College Winter Retreat. During the retreat, we learned to “aim beyond”. Pastor Will exhorted us to reconnect with God by giving up control of our life back to our heavenly Father. And even though we had sinned against God, yet God is giving up a period of grace so that we can all have a chance to reconcile our relationship with God. This retreat was a time where we got to learn more about who God is and who we are. This retreat was also a chance for us to bond with other college students through fun games and exciting activities. Check out the pics below. See you next year at the College Winter Retreat!!

The retreat messages were captivating

Aim Beyond!

Many different workshops were offered, like Science And Faith

Pastor Will illustrating the need for structure in order to produce growth

Connecting with God through praise

The retreat messages were very relevant and personal

Did they just caught a UFO?

Sports fellowship during breaks in between messages

Who knew there would be obstacle courses at the retreat!

Just one of many times of fellowship over meals

Many made commitments at the retreat

Happy New Year everyone!! Wow, 2014 is over already and it’s already the 2nd week of 2015! Time really flies. IUSM celebrated the new year with a special Bible Study. John gave a message about how to gain wisdom – by spending time on non-urgent but equally important things, like investing in relationships and learning more about God (two things that we do a lot at IUSM =). Afterwards we had a traditional new year’s dinner – dumplings! But first we had make it! It was so much fun. Afterwards, we stuck around until midnight playing fun games! Come join us next time!

Thanks John and Kelly for hosting the New Year’s Bible Study

More than enough for everyone!

Here’s a plate of yummy fried potstickers

Happy Birthday!

Each is made with love

Which is the iron chef of dumplings?

The usual suspects

Birthdays should always be celebrated with friends

A spicy and salty sauce would go great with this!

Life cycle of a dumpling

IUSM!

This plate is for you!

Each dumpling is specially made

Was this shot taken by a drone…?

IUSM!

For those that think pot stickers are “yeet hay” and would rather have dumplings!

Two stations of dumpling making

Dumplings taste better with friends

A regular Friday night at IUSM

Come join us next time!

Some are eating and some are making; just the right combination

This past week, we combined with Koinonia and Kairos for an All College Christmas Bible Study. We started the night with an awesome meal. Then we sang some Christmas songs. During Bible Study, Pastor Will spoke about the greatest gift of all, the birth of baby Jesus to be the Savior of the world and more importantly how we all need to personally accept and receive this great gift from God. After Bible Study, we had the mother of all gift exchange, where there was hilarity, craziness, lots of gifts to choose from, and a lot of dancing. See you next week. Otherwise, see you next year!!
