To date the group is doing well, a solid group of 8-10 Freshmen that meet throughout the week in various small group bible studies led by Freshmen Connection Team members. Last month I had the opportunity to take several freshmen guys out to Brixx Wood Fired Pizza to watch an NC State football game. Talk about a great time! Recently, my roommate and I (who is also a part of the FC team) started bringing a freshman, who the Lord allowed me to see pray to receive Christ at the beginning of the semester, to come workout with us and play basketball. As a team we are gearing up for our biggest event of the semester, A Progressive Dinner on November 21st. Please pray that everything goes smoothly and that our team continues to connect with more
