Hi [FIRST_NAME],

Adventist Christian Fellowship Wildcat Student Association - Inspire to be, empower to share

Hey Wildcats! 


We’ve hit the ground running this semester with Adventist Christian Fellowship, and wow—it’s already been a ride! We’ve had worship, deep convos, new friends, and yes… a few questionable sing-along moments (but hey, joyful noise, right?).
The semester isn’t slowing down either. We’ve got more Bible studies, campus hangouts, and events lined up, and we’d love for you to jump in. Think of it as faith, fun, and family—without the homework.

In this newsletter, we’ll share what we’ve been up to so far and give you a peek at the exciting plans ahead. We hope you’ll read along, smile with us, and maybe even join us for what’s next!

Breakthrough

We’ve kicked off Breakthrough, our new campus gathering, and it’s already been such a blessing! So far, we’ve had two evenings full of worship, connection, and community. The best part? We’re just getting started. We’ll keep meeting every two weeks for more music, prayer, and time to hang out together. Come as you are—there’s always room for you!

Social Nights @ the Health Promotion Hideaway

Monday nights at 6:46 (yes, 46—don’t ask, just roll with it) have become some of our favorite times of the week. We gather for an hour of games, laughs, and good conversation at the Health Promotion Hideaway in BearDown Gym. From board games to card games to simply hanging out, these laid-back nights have been a sweet way to meet new people and build real friendships.

RESTART - Fall Festival

Last weekend we hosted RESTART: Meeting God for the First Time Again — a youth and young adult conference and fall festival right here at the University of Arizona. We were blessed to have Pr. Mike Soto, the Arizona Conference Young Adults Director, as our guest speaker. His messages challenged and inspired us to see God with fresh eyes.

It was a weekend full of worship, deep conversations, service on campus, and connection. We laughed, prayed, sang, and even got competitive in the volleyball tournament. And yes — one lucky student walked away with a brand-new iPad!

More than the fun, though, was the chance to reconnect with God and each other. For many, it truly felt like hitting “restart” on faith, hope, and community.

There’s a lot to look forward to this semester, and we’d love for you to be part of it! From chill game nights to powerful worship gatherings, retreats, and even a campus health initiative, there’s something for everyone. Mark your calendars, bring a friend, and come join the fun.
