Friday Mornings are not for sleeping. They are for hanging out with the best people ever. At 6:15 AM on Fridays, we’re reading Scripture together and eating some awesome breakfast. Don’t worry, you’ll be out the door in time for school. Need more info? Talk to Fr. David ASAP so we can see you next Friday morning! Senior EYC is tonight! You won’t want to miss the first annual SFW/Ironic/Awkward Costume Contest. It’s a costume contest I guess, or whatever. I was wearing ironic costumes before it was cool. Anyway, it’s not Halloween but Halloween is so mainstream. I’ll be coming back from playing a show in Tallahassee so I’m dressing as “that guy who was in that band." See you tonight from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM in Gillespie! Next Week: Seniors, come enjoy our All Saints Parish Dinner with your family! Help out our awesome kitchen staff! Maybe we can get ice cream after? Junior EYC is smashing! Both figuratively and literally. Last week we used broom handles to smash plastic plates. Why would we do that? Marshmallow catching, that’s why. Ask any Jr. EYCer, and you might have an idea what I’m talking about! Anyway, come join our amazing (and growing) crowd this Wednesday night from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in 1 TD Center (The Turner Dabney Room)! We’ll be finishing up our series on Churchy Things this week!
