Tim Cunningham, ’06, was a mighty man of God. While at West Point, he was the Sunday School Superintendent and actively involved in OCF and his company (B4) bible study. He died in Iraq on April 23, 2008. He left behind his awesome wife Samantha and his beautiful baby daughter Abigail. We are confident that Tim is with the Lord, and the legacy he left at West Point will live on through those who knew him.
The date and location for USMA's OCF End of Year Bash has been announced.
On the
13th of May we'll trade in the usual Tuesday night fellowship and
meet at Ike Hall
gardens for a party and a final evening of memories before we head
our separate
ways for the summer.
The OCF leadership team for 2009 has been announced are looking
forward to guiding USMA OCF through another exciting year of fellowship
and outreach. Meg McIntosh will be heading up the support team,
Gino Steffanetta will be in charge of the Praise Band, Sarah Noreen
and Spencer Garrison will be leading the women's and men's ministries
respectively, and Amy Sexuaer and Ben Pinner will be overseeing
it all as Co-CICs.
On Tuesday OCF hosted its final get-together of the year before
TEE week begins and Cadets start heading home for Christmas leave.
Among the various highlights of the evening were Christmas Carols
led by the Praise Band, and a special recognition for two of OCF's
2007 graduates, Tracy Morel and Mike Noel. Check out the 2008

Valor Military Campus Ministry is similar to USMA OCF, but for all the
other ROTC detachments around the country. They are a division
of Military Campus Ministry for Campus Crusade for Christ
International, and their vision statement from their website follows:
"It is the vision of Military Campus Ministry
to reach our future military leaders for Christ at their initial
entry points at our U.S. service academies and the more than 270
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) college campuses. We help
them grow in their faith and help them become disciple makers around
the world at their future duty assignments."
You are encouraged to sign up for the Valor updates which will
provide you with news as well as awesome ministry opportunities.
OCF kicked off the year on Tuesday, 4 September at Ike Hall Gardens.
The food, fellowship, and fun was accompanied by music from the
awesome OCF Praise and
Worship band, and a few words from the OIC MAJ Bouren, Barb Willey,
and
CIC Mary Alice Pass. Remember
that OCF will resume at 1915 Tuesday nights on 18 September!
We are excited for another year of OCF to begin. The OCF website is currently
being updated with new information for the fall season. Currently
we are working on biographies for OCF's new leadership.If you have
any ideas for new content you would like to see or general questions
about the OCF Website, send an
email to CDT Nate Hicks.
Quarter-Mile Challenge
Help USMA to raise a mile's worth of quarters. This would
give over $15,000 to OCF's Capital Campaign Fund and will go a long
way to constructing new facilities at White Sulpher Springs and
Spring Canyon.
