[Gracepoint Fellowship Church :: Koinonia Berkeley HG 7 [R.E.D.]] Annual Fres...

You aren't going to want to miss this Freshman year tradition! In addition to being a beautiful state park with a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay, it is the "Ellis Island of the West." For about 100 years starting in the mid-1800s, it was an Immigration Center for everyone coming into the US via the Pacific. Well, that's enough for the history lesson, as interesting as it all is.

The day, which is SATURDAY, 9/27 by the way, includes a ferry ride to San Francisco (you go under the Bay Bridge - ooh!), an easy and beautiful hike with breathtaking, stunning, spectacular, marvelous (you get the point) views of the Bay, and finish with a BBQ lunch and games/sports with all with your friends. Doesn't that sound pretty swell, cool, amazing, awesome, sick, happening, rad, gnarly?

If you don't believe me about the whole string of adjectives, check out some of these pictures from last year's trip!

View from the top of Angel Island. I just like this picture because of the trees, but there are plenty of tree-less vistas too, don't worry!


How many of your sophomore friends can you find in this picture? You don't want to be the only one missing from the Angel Island trips from this year, do you? :)

I realize this picture has a lot of shadow and all of that, but I like it because it shows that Daniel So is consistent in his picture poses. Even from his first big Koinonia outing, he was all there with the "V"!

Man, Wynn is too-cool-for-school with his transition shades! I like this picture especially because our friend Bryan (who's serving in our Gracepoint Austin Church) is in the picture.
