Hello all!! (from Margee)
It has been a big year of transition for me!! As many of you have figured out by now, I’m not serving over at UC Berkeley with Athletes in Action anymore, but up at UC Davis. I commute an hour each way, 3 days-a-week and love Davis. I thought I would give you a little peek into one of my weeks
SUNDAY, May 17: 5pm: UC Davis Farewell Fiesta: I serve on a team of 16 CRU campus missionaries and Interns. We celebrated the end of an amazing year at Lori & Jeremiah Kepners home and said goodbye to 5 of our Interns. It was a great time of food, fellowship and reflecting on what the Lord did in and through us this year. We ate too much and laughed a lot!! Love this team.
MONDAY, May 18: 9am Monday: I worked out with my maters swim team and prepped for teaching “The Master Plan of Evangelism” (MPE). It’s a great little book about how Jesus discipled a few to reach many. On Mondays, I usually visit Daniel’s mom in Walnut Creek.
Katherine, Rebecca and Deborah
Katherine, Rebecca and Deborah have been such fun to meet with each week this year. We have had a great time studying various passages of scripture and relating them to our lives. I always look forward to my discipleship times with them!!
TUESDAY, May 19: After a 6:45am swim, I loaded my dad’s trusty old bike from the 1980’s on my bike rack, drove to Davis, parked, unloaded my bike and rode off to campus. I ran a stop sign right before campus and got issued a ticket by a policeman “hiding” behind a sign. Oh dear, not a good start to the day. At 11am, I met with 3 other CRU women for our weekly “Greek Prayer Time” and prayed for sorority women to come to Christ. Afterwards, I got a ride with Jenn Floth (one of my directors) to the Kepner’s house where Lori, Jenn and I (the 3 staff moms) meet twice a month to encourage one another to excel still more. At 2pm, I met with Cameron, a married new staff woman to talk about life and discuss “The MPE”. Fun fact- Cameron led Hannah’s freshmen bible study when they were both students. I usually meet Tuesdays at 3 with a Discipleship Group of 3 sophomores. This week they invited me over for a home-cooked meal at an apartment. to celebrate. It was delicious and such a treat!!
WEDNESDAY, May 20: I co-lead a Women’s Bible Study on Wednesday mornings at our church (for the last 6 years). It has a great place to connect with women and study the word together. I also host a Mom’s in Prayer group at our house from11:15-12:30. I have been praying with some of these moms for 17 years. We have seen the Lord do the exceedingly abundant in answering our prayers for our children. This is one of my most important hours of my week because I need their camaraderie to pray for our young adult kids!!
THURSDAY, May 21: After my morning swim I once again loaded my bike onto my car. I drove to the Martinez Amtrak Station and caught my 10:04 train. It’s a 45-minute, peaceful ride. I hopped off and rode from the Davis Station to campus, …careful to STOP at every stop-sign this time!!
At 11am, I had a Bible Study with Jessica and Jen. Jen graduated in March and Jessica is in her 4th of 5 years. We talked about the last 2 chapters in MPE. At noon, I met with aGroup of Sophomores, Allie, Sierra and Kimberly (below) to “cover” for Taiko, a wonderful staff woman who is off campus raising support full time. It has been so MUCH fun!!

At 1pm, I usually try to have lunch with international students. This week, Kay who has been involved with CRU in Hong Kong joined me and Anna Kehl. Often we lunch with women from Turkey, Japan and Saudi Arabia. Each week is different!

At 2pm, I met with “The Cookie Club” : Anna Kehl, Anna Olsen and Taylor. These 3 CRU interns “named” our group back in October: each week I make cookies for all of the bible studies I lead- and I often share the recipes!! The cookies are a big hit! What fun we 4 have had this year! I taught them how to study the scriptures by “color-coding” the text and we have been enjoying our discussions about MPE immensely this quarter!

One of my favorite groups this year has been our FridayMorning Breakfast Club, pictured above: Taiko, Jordan, Lisa, Hannah, & Annika. Taiko is on staff with CRU and is one of Hannah’s current roommates. Jordan, Lisa, Hannah & Annika all lived together for 3 years as undergrads!! I usually cook breakfast and then we head to the word for perspective! This quarter we have loved discussing MPE!! It is so much fun to have my daughter in a bible study!!
