Welcome Session

Before I begin the recap of Friday's Welcome Food and Games Session, which is also Cosdu's first session of the semester, I'd just like to share one of my favourite quotes from C. S. Lewis:

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one."

In a similar sense I guess you could say that all of us on that day, returning or brand new members, have something in common; which is that we ALL share the same faith in Christ. If you were one of the new members who showed up on that day, you gotta hand it to yourselves for not only willing to meet a completely new group of people whom you've never met before and knew nothing about, but also for subjecting yourself to the endless introductions where it becomes a memory amusement of connecting names to faces. :)

The evening commenced with a speech from our President-Jessica followed by introductions of the Cosdu Committee and our wonderful Chaplain-Father Thinh.

While the activities played out after, everyone limbered up and the evening was quickly filled with mirth and merriment. Soon, we began fostering a new community of friends to grow together in faith, some of them..just the beginning of a lifelong friendship.

We would still love to meet any of you who were unable to make it to the first food and games session. You can come along and celebrate Welcome Mass with us at the Newman Chapel which is in close proximity to Melbourne Uni, so stay tuned to this blog and check your emails for further info!

If you still aren't receiving mails from us, email us (cosdu.melbuni@gmail.com) your name and email address right now!

And as the night ended with plenty of exchanged conversations over delicious pizza, here is a video we showed of our Easter Camp from April 2nd-5th! Enjoy :)
