Greetings! Greetings in the name of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ! On behalf of the facilitators of the C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis (George Anderson, John Bishop, Jim Hiskey, and Jim Phillips), I offer you this edition of the CSLI Annapolis Newsletter.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute:
The C.S. Lewis Institute was founded in 1976 in the legacy of its namesake as an organization which endeavors to challenge, educate, and disciple those who will, like Lewis, articulate, defend, and live faith in Christ through personal and public life. The Institute's vision complements the work of the Church, equipping thoughtful believers to impact their sphere of influence for Jesus Christ. This discipleship of heart and mind takes place by means of teaching, readings, and mentoring.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis: The Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis is to extend the mission of the C.S. Lewis Institute to the Annapolis community, with a special passion for the students and faculty of Saint John's College and the U.S. Naval Academy. Ours is to disciple the people the Lord brings to us and connect them to each other so that they can lead the Church, the State, and the nations. Support for C.S.

The SJC Welcome Back Picnic, August 26: All SJC students interested in participating in the SJC men and women's fellowships which will begin the week of September 3 are invited to stop by the Aslan House at 5pm for a picnic supper. It will be a great place to reconnect and share your summer stories.
The Fellows Retreat is on Friday and Saturday, September 8,9 at Osprey Point: Fellows, we are only one month from our retreat weekend at Osprey Point. Remember to come prepared to worship, fellowship, and relax. More information will be forthcoming.
Ken Boa Seminar week (September 26-30): Dr. Ken Boa will be returning to Annapolis during this week for a series of events with Fellows, Pastors, Johnnies, Midshipmen, and the community. Details will be published to this distribution list as they become final. For more information on Dr. Boa, visit his website.
Annual Fellows Dinner September 27: All Fellows past and present are invited to attend the annual Fellows dinner which we are targeting for September 27 while Ken Boa is in town. Mark your calendars and plan to attend this special dinner event.
Professional men and women's fall fellowships begin the week of September 17: We are going to do something different this fall/spring and combine the men's and women's fellowship sessions into one session. Anyone is welcome to attend these sessions. We will be doing the 10 lesson Heart and Mind Discipleship course jointly developed by CSLI, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, and Alpha USA. We will do five lessons in the fall, two weeks apart (every other week) and the remaining five in the winter. More information will be coming on this so stay tuned. To learn more about the Heart and Mind Discipleship series, visit our website.
These are just a few things we are working on for the fall. We are delighted to report that we have 16 Year One Fellows and 16 Year Two Fellows who are now underway in their studies. If you are interested in this year long program, see our Annapolis Fellows Program page for more information. Your application will be due next April 30th.
Mark your calendars and feel free to ask questions about any of the events above so that you can plan to attend.

Ongoing
Please pray for the men and women associated with the Institute and the lives they have been entrusted to touch. Our ministry in Annapolis is not about numbers, it is about touching the lives of the men and women God brings to us before they go out into His service.
Aslan is on the move!
Sincerely in Christ,
Jim Phillips
Director, C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis
