All right, people. Grab your daytimer or GoogleCal or iPhone or smart phone, or boot up the RAM that lives in your head. It's time for another session in the slightly unpredictable world of CT-Calendar.
Next weekend, we'll be shuffling a few events. On Saturday, November 1, we'll be getting together with some families (with whom we've connected at
The Lamb Center and/or through our own friendships) at
Cox Farms and the inspirational annual celebration of
Pumpkin Madness. Come out to catch up and to enjoy the nirvanic pleasure of watching whole pumpkins launched from a trebuchet, and jack-o-lanterns dropped from a crane. We'll share the details when they're available.
Then on Sunday, November 2, we will NOT be at our regular venue. Instead, we're planning to join up with several local and like-minded Christian communities to celebrate All Saints Day.
Church in Bethesda has graciously offered to host, so we'll be gathering there at 11am (we're hoping the later start time will allow for both Daylight Savings Time and the short drive to Bethesda).
So what about this weekend? Well, the calendar is empty, actually. Which isn't to say you should sit on your hands (unless you'd like to do just that). It is a weekend intentionally left with some space, and the hope that you (yes,
you!) will cook up some excuse to connect with your neighbors or your fellow Common Tablers. So do it!
Embracing Flexibility,
Mike Stavlund
