awake and alive

Well, it isn’t Saturday night anymore, or even Sunday for that matter, but why not talk about it?

After the 8 at Riverview, a bunch of people headed over to the Price’s house to hangout and eat tasty treats. Even though this happens on a semi-regular basis, this Saturday was different. Ton’s of people came, and I didn’t really know a lot of them at all. It was so great. I really like to meet new people and usually I don’t have the opportunity or the courage to do so. Again, this Saturday was different. I was actually able to initiate conversation with people that I had never met before. Yes, it was on my own turf, but it happened nonetheless. In fact I think I even remember their names (Lisa, Briannon, Jason, Ethan, Katie, and Randi-Kay).

One of the main reasons that we make all the food and invite so many people is that we want to encourage real community. We want to take people and bring them into the circle. It seemed to me like that was actually happening this time.
