Representatives from the Pitt-CMU Orthodox Christian Fellowship, a group for college students, will be at the University of Pittsburgh this Sunday at Posvar Hall from 2-5pm. The location of the table has not yet been decided by Pitt.

Please note that the Pitt-CMU OCF is open to all students, not just those at Pitt and CMU! Having been in OCF for a few years I can attest that not only is it a great way to grow spiritually, it’s also a lot of fun. Meetings in the past have been on Thursday nights but this is subject to change depending upon everyone’s schedules. There are a lot of events throughout the year, too. For more information and to be added to the email list, contact pittcmuocf@gmail.com
