Text of the page (random words):
e i wasn t sure about staying on cosdu i was going to the club for one and half year and i did not find it interesting and helpful it seemed as any other club of unimelb people helping out and doing activities to socialise the only and big difference was that in cosdu we were looking for god this made me to open my heart and i started to serve in the club i saw cosdu was more than that cosdu became is and will be my family far from home cosduans are there to serve god and helping other students to grow in faith you will find happiness in the middle of your studies if you serve in cosdu as a result at the end of the semester 1 last year i thought i could help in cosdu first in the ec committee and later in the committee as treasurer the role is itself not really difficult but it needs your patience and love you will need to basically a few things keeping track of the money 2 apply for grants 3 reimburse members who paid on behalf for cosdu 4 other chores it may look a little overwhelming but if you are willing to surrender and try your best you will go through it don t be afraid to raise up your hand and serve god people in the committee will help you and you will never be alone if you have questions about the role let me know and i will guide you god bless johan sem 2 treasurer christine tee hello lovely people yes you it has come to that time of the year again when assignments and mid sems come to a hectic end hopefully and when the committee steps down after one year of serving together even as i type this i can t fully digest that one year has gone by just like that one whole year of events sessions and lots of food in treasurer terms this means one whole year of grants budgeting and grants going into agm 2015 i sat in my seat smiling at all the nominations of people around me putting my hand up to second nominations and nudging people to being open to roles saying this by no means was i personally open to taking on a role again after being cosdu s treasurer for the 2014 2015 term i was going to take a break from serving i told myself i was going to focus on my studies and spend more time on friends i told myself i was going to have some friday nights where i could just go out i told myself notice a common theme in these statements i was making in my head firstly it was all i centric and secondly where was my heart for god in this decision i was so consumed by my own abilities and doubts that i didn t allow space for god in my decision in the end i was so glad that i realised this during agm and had a paradigm shift where instead of focusing on me me me i was going to be open to this decision being god and me after all he had shown me so much of his love by serving in the committee in 2015 2016 already what more was he going to do in 2015 16 and this time not just for me and my own faith but for the faith of cosdu now looking back on that decision last year i laugh because god is just so funny and great he doesn t give up on you and he does know that you alone are not capable based on your own human capabilities but that s why he stands by you as you serve i can t even begin to list the things i ve learned by bein in this committee from my faith to just working in a team to just being inspired by my amazing fellow comm members but hey let s get down to the serious stuff for a bit the job description of the treasurer pretty much covers all money related aspects 1 keeping track of cosdu s accounts noting down cash inflows and outflows in a book or excel spreadsheet whichever suits you best 2 applying for grants grants can be applied for functions and asset purchasing from umsu the treasurer will need to ensure grant applications application of payments and other necessary documents are submitted on time online 3 reimbursements reimbursing those who have spent on behalf of cosdu once they ve handed you the receipt can be done easily now with online bank transfers 4 collection of money collect money whenever necessary e g at eat in dinners mass donations o week booth 5 attend training by umsu attend short training sessions by umsu in which they inform you about how to be the best treasurer for your club 6 budgeting coming up with budgets for future events with the committee 7 prepare treasurer s report this is the last thing the treasurer would need to do at agm all in all yes it does takecommitment and it does take hard work but being in the committee isn t something that will last a year and then fade away it s an experience that will always stick with you and that s something i think everyone should experience open your hearts and be humble god bless you all and the committee will be praying for everyone so know that you already are covered in prayer posted by cosdu at 9 35 pm no comments labels 2016 treasurer publicity coordinator jehrome i took the role of publicity because i thought i was a pr public relations guy back then and people actually thought of me that way and i guess that s what the role really is about reaching out to people and being that person that grips everyone together it was the passion to spread love and hopefulness that got me into saying the precious yes lord cosdu has been a wonderful keystone for my journey that it had filled a hole that is constantly searching to manage the role dealing with people is the main foundation does it always have to be about people jehrome yes what the people like in their newsfeed what is visually attracting to them what words do they colloquially use people people people disciples you just have to know if you dont psshh you know you gen y you there is always gonna be the anxiety and the force to reach out to people shout out to my shytype girls and boys and of course the anxiety of am i doing enough a cosdu committee is an understanding and a no worries committee well for me anyways but it is a welcoming and an accepting space i wouldnt have lasted a semester of serving without my 2015 sem2 committee all it takes is the willingness to say jesus is love during o week that itself is the edge of this responsibility but the willingness is enough that or you just scream free food and quickly snatch a cosdu goodies bag smile and give it to this person half contemplating to walk away and half contemplating slowing down their pace waiting for you to give the bag of goodies to them have fun have a ball you re gonna be just fine you god blessed soul smile emoticon posted by cosdu at 7 33 pm no comments labels 2016 publicitycoordinator tuesday may 10 2016 liturgical coordinator nicole torres hey everyone my name is nicole and i serve as the liturgical coordinator for cosdu my role as the liturgical coordinator of cosdu is one that closely deals with the heart of our catholicism because it deals with the holy eucharist or the mass as the liturgical coordinator my roles includes organising cosdu masses booking for a venue getting a priest to celebrate the mass setting up for mass organising the liturgical music for mass making sure the mass is pastoring the members even working alongside the sessions coordinator for some sessions so it really is all about liturgy i know it might seem like there s a lot or it might seem complicated but i started this role not knowing much about how the mass goes at all and all that and somehow it s already nearing the end of my term as liturgical coordinator and i m proud to say i ve made it hahaha p it s been such a challenging ride but i know everything i did was for god and that was all that mattered not to mention i served with such a beautiful amazing bunch of people that helped me with all the things i lacked on they made everything so much fun and full of new things to learn pangsai if you re being called to serve in cosdu but don t know what role to run for don t shy away from this role you truly work closely with the physical jesus the bread and wine and that s one of the greatest thing ever it s not hard to get the hang of and i will be there always for whoever steps up to this role after me if they have any question or need any help at all so make sure you pray about it and let the lord lead you god bless and see you all at agm posted by cosdu at 11 45 pm no comments labels 2016 liturgicalcoordinator vice president christabelle cheah hello there my name is belle and i m currently vice president and i m hoping that perhaps you will be the next one since you re reading this which maybe then indicates that something about cosdu or even the title of this post attracts you and that you re interested muahahaha ok i m just kidding wherever you are in life and however you feel about the upcoming agm let me just share a little something with you about what being vice president is like i tend to go on a bit of a tangent sometimes so please bear with me j being vice as outlined by the constitution huhu let s get the super formal things outta the way in clause 7aii states that the role of a vice president who shall be a melbourne university student for his her full term is to support the president and the committee responsible for fund raising and sponsorship together with publicity coordinator and social activities coordinator resource management attend necessary training conducted by umsu before you start freaking out on how possibly daunting all that may sound and before thoughts like can i do this i m not holy enough i haven t been in cosdu long enough i don t know what to do or how to lead people i am not capable flood your mind let me ask you one question have you been touched by cosdu if your answer to that is a yes you can do great great things because the love and joy that resonates off cosdu comes only from christ and being vice allows you the opportunity to be an instrument of this exact love and joy that you have experienced yourself as vice you don t have to be amazing at everything neither do you have to be on the top of your game 24 hours 7 days a week but it definitely calls for a willing heart to be ripped open torn down and built back up again being vice we call ourselves to be open to receiving christ in ways we might not have ever felt before personally vice was hard for me because i am a perfectionist and sometimes actually most of the time i really want things my way and choose not to want to see the bigger picture however being vice calls you to work very closely not just with your president but also with your committee and ultimately it is calling you to listen to the voice of god what do you think god is calling you to do i wouldn t say stepping up to vice but maybe i will say stepping down because stepping down to vice invites us to humble ourselves listen to his call and answer it yes the road will not always be smooth sailing but pray about it envision what you want cosdu to be and have good time management which is something i learnt over my term and is also very important if you have a little something you want to give back and you have a little nudge or feeling to want to serve and give back to cosdu this may be it you ll have plenty of opportunities through planning orientations night market festival of nations being organized and being disciplined to learn the many things that god has yet to show you and before i forget being in the committee in itself is such a rewarding experience because the friendships and relationships formed amidst your term here with both comm and members might just be the ones you ll be keeping for life so please if you have the faintest of callings i urge you to pray about it and know that if you ve any any questions whatsoever i am always here for you j with love belle posted by cosdu at 11 09 pm no comments labels 2016 vicepresident monday may 09 2016 sessions coordinator jessica schmidt howdy so you are interested in what a session s coordinator does well as session s coordinator you are entrusted with all of the sessions that happen during each semester apart from masses and some other random ones under clause 7 b ii of the constitution the sessions coordinator shall 1 organise coordinate and execute all cosdu sessions 2 research on proposed themes and liaise with the spiritual directors 3 invite speakers to sessions and liaise with liturgy coordinator for appreciation gift 4 liaise with the vice president for resources and materials 5 liaise with the secretary for venue bookings and list of the semester s sessions in advance 6 liaise with the music coordinator for music as and when necessary this sounds like quite a big job but really it s not that big because of all the help and support you have available to you in the committee and in the archdiocese of melbourne you also are blessed with the job of choosing the topics for each week finding speakers or video programs or brazilian jiu jitsu masters or anything you can think of to make each session communicate god s love grace and mercy this can be done through a combination of deepening our knowledge of the catholic church teachings on the faith deepening in personal encounter with god sharings prayer or worship deepening our relationships with others yup god is in those weirdos you re surrounded by as well in this role you also work very closely with many other committee members to really shape what each cosdu night will be like for example you could organise with your music coordinator for a song to be used in praise and worship or your liturgy coordinator to organise adoration of the blessed sacrament or with social activities coordinator to have some games another part of your role is to organise and discuss with speakers to come to cosdu and share their wisdom i found this one of the most fun parts of the job as you get to talk with experts from all walks of life nuns priests international speakers and professors who all have a unique take on the faith to make the most of this it s important to plan early finally with so much organising and planning about faith topics and the church it is important that you consult regularly with the giver of all speakers and topics and really the source of all goodness that is god having called you into this position it is very important to ask him what it is you must do for his beloved children also he is the one who can turn all of your and my weaknesses into strengths and so trying to do it without him well let s just say you might look like an idiot in front of a lot of people this i learned from experience lel taking up sessions it was my hope that during my term it would be a year of spiritual growth learning how to be fearless in our faith and loving disciples in the world what a mission however i quickly found that there was a lot to contend with in this role not only did i need to think about the beliefs and opinions of my committee family but also would have to cater for the different levels of faith in my extended cosdu family some people were praying daily whilst others had only just began to learn about catholic teaching yet the lord wanted everyone to come closer to ...
