How's Your Serve?

I was talking to a friend the other day about the wonderful Christ hymn found in Philippians 2.  It's a beautiful passage that describes how Jesus didn't consider his equality with God as something to be held onto, but rather gave it up to become a servant to us all.  Such amazing humility, such an amazing example.

So it got us talking about what kind of servant heart we have.  My friend shared with me a statement that had been shared with him, a challenge to consider, and one that I want to give to you.  How do you respond to this...

"You find out the kind of servant heart you have when someone treats you like a servant."

Longhorn Round Up!

This Sunday we welcome back all of our returning students as well as a whole host of new students coming to UT for the very first time.  We'll start the morning with a wonderful Welcome Back Brunch at 9:15am in our Campus Center, followed by worship at 10:30am over in the sancutary.  For those of you who are new, this will be a great opportunity to meet other students involved in LFC as well as hear some about the upcoming events and activities that will be happening in LFC in the coming weeks.  Looking forward to seeing you there, come join us!
