As a new grad student, we realize you’re on a tight schedule (we’re in the same boat!). Here are some of our favorite places to study, eat, and relax!

Yes, we know that in actuality, grad school is a year-round enterprise! With the beginning of the “official” school year, we will be resuming our weekly Friday night Bible studies. This year we will be meeting on Friday nights in Kerckhoff 133 at 8pm (the building right next to Ackerman Union). Please join us for a time of studying God’s Word and drawing ever closer in relationship with Him! We also gladly provide rides to Life Baptist Church for Sunday Worship Service at 4pm. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at timdong@ucla.edu or 626-233-6450.
We will be getting together for bowling and volleyball during the summer! Contact Tim (626-233-6450) for information!
There’s a satellite Veritas event for graduate students! The same day (4/24) at 12:15pm in Kerckhoff Grand Salon. Dr. Raymond Barfield and Dr. Karl Lorenz will host an interactive forum around issues of suffering, the American denial of death, and health care reform. Lunch is provided. Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and professional students may RSVP for preferred seating.
Two medical doctors — one a Christian, one an agnostic leaning on the atheist side — discuss meaning in life in the midst of suffering and death. Dr. Raymond Barfield (Duke) and Dr. Michael Lill (Cedars-Sinai & UCLA) discuss in a candid conversation moderated by Professor Bill Klug (UCLA).
Held in Ackerman Grand Ballroom. Doors open at 7:30pm. Wristbands are needed for entry, but you can get them on the 1st floor Ackerman patio before doors open. It’s free! Looking forward to listening to their dialogue!

After Finals Week, Spring Break, and Passion Week, we’re back in Kerckhoff 133 for bible studies at 8pm! We’ll continue to meet at the tables near Panda Express for dinner before bible studies. See you at the tables at 7pm!
I really enjoyed the song presentation today at the Easter Service. Here’s a youtube video of someone who can sing I Will Rise (even) better than we can.
We will be meeting off-campus on Friday, 4/6. In lieu of our regular bible study in Acts, we will be joining with other LCF groups and Life Baptist Church to remember the significance of the cross at a Good Friday Service held at 1609 S. Barrington Ave., Los Angeles, at 9pm. Our regular bible study series will resume on Friday, April 13, at 8pm in Kerckhoff 133.
The majority of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, and the New Testament was written in Greek.* What better way to understand God’s Word than to read it in its original language? Well, okay, we might not be able to learn Greek and Hebrew with that great fluency, but at least we can pick up a few words here and there to be able to enjoy the richness that we lose when the Bible gets translated to English. Pastor Daniel gave a little appetizer at our Grad/ISM Retreat — create, dust, and ‘in Christ’ are just a few words/phrases that get over-simplified in English.
Pastor Peter Lee, pastor of Worthy Life Baptist Church and a graduate student studying Hebrew Bible/Northwest Semitic Philology at Johns Hopkins University, will be giving us a language primer on Thursday, 1/19, and Friday, 1/20, 7:30pm – 10pm on each night. Contact Tim for more details.

For the Winter 2012 Quarter, we’ll be meeting in Ackerman 2408 at 8pm for bible study. We’ll still be meeting at the tables near Panda Express for dinner beforehand. See you Friday the 13th at 7pm!
We started book clubs this quarter! One group is reading “What is the Gospel?” by Mark Dever. If you’re looking for something to read during Winter Break, it might be worth it to pick up a copy!
