Free Pancake Brunch & Mini-golf

Congratulations! You finished your first week of the semester. I hope you are still excited about it and not feeling too overwhelmed by the three year's worth of assignments your professors told you you would be doing this semester. Don't worry, you can do so much more than you think you can. You'll do fine. Just pray for God to help you manage your time well, and study when it's time to study, and take a break when it's time to take a break so that you can hit the books again fresh, later.

And since the weekend is here, Saturday would be a great time to take one of those breaks! That's why the student leaders here have planned a FREE Pancake Brunch for tomorrow (Saturday) at 11AM at our campus house. We want to give you a chance to blow off some steam and relax and enjoy some delicious pancakes and sausage, and get to know each other better, or maybe meet you for the first time.

Afterwards we're thinking about going miniature golfing if the weather cooperates. So if that sounds like fun, plan on doing that with us, too. The mini-golf place also has batting cages, and a driving range if you want to do that while we're there.

Bring some friends if you want. Everyone is welcome.

If you need directions to our campus house, one of the best ways to get them is to type "413 Clay St. SW, Blacksburg, VA" into Google maps. You'll see that our campus house is only about a block away from most of the dorms on campus, over by the Washington Street tennis courts. It's much closer than most of your classes if you are on campus!

If you are walking from on campus, when you are standing on Washington Street between O'Shaugnessy (O'Shag) Hall and Johnson Hall -- cross to the other side of the street and take the sidewalk up the hill towards VT's Cranwell International Center. (You will see a sign for Cranwell on Washington St.) VT's Tennis Courts will be on your right. As you are walking up the hill veer to your left off of the sidewalk and walk up the grassy hill. You will see the campus house facing you. It's a two story red brick house with a big front porch and a banner on the balcony railing that says "Christ's Church @ VT Campus Ministry" -- so you'll know you found the right place once you get here! It's really pretty simple.

Don't forget: FREE Pancakes and sausage, 11AM tomorrow (Saturday, August 25) at 413 West Clay St.

We are really hoping to see you Saturday.

Working up an appetite,
