MAY Birthdays!

Lots of Birthdays are coming up in MAY! Jeremy was birthed on the 12th, Emily on the 20th, and Ivan on the 22nd. Happy Birthday Peeps!

HC for May 3rd

Next weeks group will be at Emily and Jeremy's house. Calvin & Clayton are on childcare (if there's not enough kids, you guys can decide who does it!) and Kyle is sweet, Joy is savory, and Becka is SURPRISE snacks. Remember this is the first week of the month, so there is the potential that we may have new visitors.

We missed being there last night! I'd love to hear all about it!

IMPORTANT! LAST MINUTE LOCATION CHANGE!

This Sunday, April 26th, we will be meeting at the Cox's house for HC, not the Costello's. Everything else shall remain the same. Shalom.

Subverting the Empire

As a follow up to our discussion last night I thought this was an insightful read. I think the definition of Hospitality that is offered is one that differs radically from one that our empire would lend us. Feel free to comment...

HC Essentials for April 26th, 2009

Thanks to Jeremy for watching the children last night, and to Emily for stocking them up on a lot of sugar. And thanks to Levi for the SAVORY snack! You guys are great!

Next week we will be at the Costello's and Laura and Michele are on for childcare. Beth and Howie are bringing the sweet and savory snack.

Last night Danielle talked to us about her new friends from afar (feel free to comment on the details of where they are from again Danielle) and how they will be joining our group for the next couple months, starting next week. Let's make sure they feel extra welcomed, and in doing so, if any of you want to volunteer to bring an additional snack, along with Beth and Howie's, that would be awesome! I'm sure Emily's candy will make another apperance as well...or did Tim & Becka eat it all? Just kidding. :)
