Brunch at the Shaw's

A big GAP thank you to Andy and Jenn Shaw for opening their home last Sunday for a delicious brunch!! Nothing tastes better after the 9am service than egg casserole, fruit salad, blueberry muffins, chocolate doughnuts, and and ... did I miss anything?

We also can't forget to thank their two well-behaved hobbits, Samwise and Rosie. Oh, did I say hobbits? I meant cats.

How many cars can we fit in the cul-de-sac?
One of them seems to be going against the flow.

Suggestions for a caption will be entertained.

Jo shows us how she plans on choking Jonathan.

Andy R.'s thought bubble .... "I wonder if anyone
will notice if I eat the rest of the chocolate doughnuts."

Leaf Rake and Corn Maze

LEAF RAKE
It's time to jump in the leafs again! November 14th, 4pm. We'll meet at the Church parking lot bearing rakes (if you've got one). Then we will pile in the car and go find some church members willing to let us serve.

FALL CORN MAZE
Sunday, October 29th join us as we venture into a 10 Acre Corn Maze that's setup like a treasure hunt. We'll meet at the church after 2nd service and stop for lunch on the way to Rantoul.
Hardy's Reindeer Ranch

Game Night -- September 29, 2006

"To win this Sculptorades, choose an artist from your team who can get you to guess the answer on the back of this card by sculpting the subject..." (Cranium)

"...crazy charging rhinos, crazy my first kiss, crazy babies... I'm going to pick crazy babies!" (Apples to Apples)

"I think it was Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe in the library..." (Clue)

"Are they touching? I think they're touching... what do you guys think? Are they touching?" (Pass the Pigs)

"It's like when you want to make the car go around a corner, but you have to let the other cars know you want to do that..." (Catch Phrase)

Do you like playing board games and card games? This Friday, September 29, the WRCC Gap ministry is hosting our monthly game night at the church. We start at 7:00 pm and go until around 11:00 pm, but you can come whenever you want, and stay as long as you like!

We provide snacks and drinks and games, but you can bring a snack to share or a game to play as well. We hope to see you there!

Sunday Brunch at the Shaws

by Andy and Jenn Shaw

September 24th, 2006
10.45 a.m.

After the early service concludes, we would like to invite you over to our humble abode for a Sunday brunch which will include quiche, fruit, muffins, and coffee. We live about 3 minutes from WRCC and would like to invite you out for food and fellowship.

For directions, contact us at gap@windsorroad.org.

Also, we do have two cats. I will do my best to vacuum every nook and cranny, but those who have allergies may want to come equipped with their Claritin or preferred allergy medicines.

If we could get a general head-count by Friday night, I'd appreciate it. And if anyone has folding chairs, we could probably use them. We have, I think, 10 chairs scattered about the house and the sofa, of course, but it would be good to have some back-ups.

Hope to see you there!

No Serious Injuries During Canoe Outing

Actually, there weren't any injuries except to some egos, maybe, as canoes were inadvertently dumped or repeatedly paddled into the shore. That's part of the fun, though, and fun was had in multiples yesterday as a group of ten of us spent the day on Sugar Creek, near Turkey Run State Park in Indiana.

After braving the early start from the WRCC parking lot, we arrived at Sugar Valley Canoe Trips just minutes after our 10am bus to the starting point had left. Fortunately, another one was leaving at 11am, so we chatted until loading ourselves and our lunch cooler onto the bus.

As I mentioned in the first paragraph, some of us need remedial paddling, steering, and basic canoe balancing classes. What a great excuse for another day of canoeing! We had loads of fun, in spite of the fact Katie D. was almost sucked into the mud, never to be seen again and Erin C. bet against sunburn ... and lost.

Thanks to ...
-- Cathy O. for planning the excursion and then not even getting to enjoy it due to an illness. Get well soon!
-- Andy and Jenn S. for driving and bringing the cooler.
-- Kati R. for driving.
-- And everyone else for joining in for the laughter and bonding.

One more thing .... put Sept 29th on the calendar for WRCC's next game night!
