The Annual Cru Root Beer Kegger will be on Sunday evening. Monday morning we will all take extended time with God to start the year off focusing on Him. The rest of the week we will put on Cru's Fall Welcome Outreach events leading up to our Cru Kickoff on Thursday, September 3!

The Cru Restart Weekend will all take place in Kalamazoo, so we can be ready for Fall Welcome outreach at WMU. (You can stay at your own place in Kzoo or crash at a friends' place for a few days. If you need housing help, let us know.)

Please register at the link below so we will know how many students to expect. Cost is $10. (to cover three meals)  But if money is tight, let us know. There are scholarships available.

Make plans now to move back to town by Friday, August 28, and be ready for a weekend together of fun and mission.
