Breakfast club met again this week, and was a chance to catch up after the weekend (a very long weekend for some). We spent some time looking over the newspaper and pulled some interesting articles out to discuss including topics like the moment of silence in schools, technology’s place in religious teaching, and evoking Christ’s name for sympathy or support. In supper club we played games and made our own sub sandwiches - which were really good. A few youth group members won special prizes for bringing friends along, but in the end everyone filled up on candy and toys. We heard some excitement around going to see a movie next week, so be on the lookout for more information on possibly seeing Beowulf Sunday afternoon or evening.

Breakfast club this week consisted of our All Saints’ Day Performance for the Sunday school children, complete with microphones, costumes, and laughter. We had a few angels, a few saints, and a great audience to cheer them on. Afterwards we spent some time up in Jessica’s apartment making a breakfast of eggs and grapes, and playing Mario Party on Nintendo Wii with her 4 year old son, Ian, whose talent for the game was much greater than ours.

In the evening we gathered for dinner at On The Border and shared lots of chips, guacamole, and cheesy sauce. We celebrated Andrew’s birthday with song and ice cream – lots of ice cream – and generally spent the evening among good food and better friends. At the end of the night we returned to the predella for our tradition of quiet reflection and prayer.

Next week join us for a more low-key Sunday, gathering for Breakfast Club at 10am in the youth room, and then again for Supper Club at 6:30 in the same space. We have spent a lot of time getting to know each other, and are excited to continue this precious journey together.
