Ideas to Revisit and Discuss

To revisit a few things previously mentioned + encourage discussions to flow...

Varied Fellowship
During our initial meeting, some ideas tossed about included having a game night one month and an ice cream (or frozen yogurt) outing another. If each person contributes 1 fun, different idea, we could have something novel to look forward to each month. That said, would it be helpful to pass around an "idea sheet" at our January gathering?

Organic Fellowship
We all agree that we want to keep things "low key" and "laid back" but we are young, fabulous, and energetic...how can we pull it all off, i.e., cook, eat, visit, maybe go out and have evening prayer, and wind down considerably from our busy weeks?

Well, let's say, for instance, we center our gathering upon our coming together for evening prayer once a month. Then after evening prayer, we can vary our fellowship according to a rotation that includes ideas from everyone to keep it new and novel.

Here are some ideas of what we could do after evening prayer:

• Play a round of interactive board games while eating some take-out (we pot luck it or BYOTO - bring your own take out!).
  
• Walk down to the Chimes for a burger and fries (whatever), and then to Highland Coffees for dessert.
  
• Bicycle [Critical Mass, St. Alban's Style!] from LSU to downtown via the new lighted levee path and grab a bite and peruse the downtown venues - theatre, art gallery, etc.
  
• Go out for ice cream and chat.

What's your favorite outing or pastime?

What do you think?
Just think. Its Friday night, the week was full, and you just wanna grab some grub, drink a glass of wine, maybe have a coffee, or a treat afterwards, and just hang out.

What about food? Simple, low key?

Pot luck doesn't have to mean work. Somebody picks up a French bread...another, a bottle of wine ...she brings an apple pie and a quart of ice cream...he brings a rotisserie chicken...I'll thaw a bag of french cut green beans and toss with balsalmic vinaigrette and top with roasted almonds...you assemble a salad.

BYOTO...might be take out from DeAngelo's, or, maybe its a good excuse for you to indulge your secret, guilty pleasure, you know 'Canes'.
