my community!

So I took a total turn around from the Skydiving Club and decided to use Disciples on Campus as my community.  They are a ministry stemming out from the Roanoke Valley Church that leads Bible studies and fun events for students at Virginia Tech.  I had never heard about them until one day last week when this girl randomly came and knocked on my door and invited me to come to a Bible study upstairs.  I went on a whim and ended up loving it.  I felt such a strong sense of community in the first night that I met those leaders.  They were so welcoming to everyone, and the students in the Bible study seemed really close to each other as well.  I thought this would be an interesting community to get involved in and also do my research on.  I talked to Nicki, one of the leaders, and she said she would be more than happy to let me do my project on them!  I will be meeting with her at least once a week anyway so she said we could do the interview whenever I want.  I'm excited that things seem to be falling into place...
