Action-Packed Saturday!

UPDATE: For the brothers, we’ve unfortunately canceled the Saturday outing. However, we’ll still be getting together.

We’re going to Val’s (a great mom & pop burger place!) in Castro Valley, then heading back to Alameda for some time of sports/studying. You decide. So come and hang out with us!

Sat. 11am @  Annahead Parking Lot (Channing-Bowditch)

Brothers Ropes Course & Mountain Climbing

Sat. 11am @  Annahead Parking Lot (Channing-Bowditch) · $20 (rental, gas, food)

We’ve talked about it… and now the time is finally here! This Saturday (3/14) all the Kairos guys will be getting together to go to Santa Cruz (Mt. Hermon) for a time of adventure and fun. We’re going to be going on a ropes course and do some indoor rock climbing. There will also be time of football and frisbee, too. If that’s not enough, we’re going to end the day at the beach with a bonfire and awesome food. So you missed out last beach trip? No fret, this will be the ultimate relaxation day, after your midterms!

My thesis project and school work has been pretty intense thus far, so you’ll definitely see me there to unwind and de-stress!

Kairos 4 Kickoff!

I had a pretty memorable night last night. We had our first official get-together last night at the Y. I was so excited that a handful of new (and not so new) students came to check out our kickoff. We started off with a delicious dinner that consisted of a chicken stew dish made from scratch by our one and only Debbie. I’ve had it before and I always love eating it! Then we followed up by having a time of ice-breakers with the premise of answering this question: Imagine if you were a vehicle, what would you be and why? One person responded that she would be a Jeep because she was outdoorsy, another a bulldozer (yikes!), a submarine, an X-Wing starfighter (cool!), and yours’ truly, a U-Haul truck. If you weren’t there, you’re going to have to ask these people for their reasons they chose those vehicles!

Welcome! Nice and cozy Fireside Room at the Y.

We then followed that up with a short Bible study given by Tim, which was interspersed with a detailed account of his life, and how it all fit into what God was teaching him and showing him at different stages  (childhood, high school, college at Cal, etc.).

I think we all walked away from the study with the understanding that, as God’s people, we are going through this life journey together. Yeah, we all come from different walks of life, but God desires us to get relational with one another (and to go through life experiences together), as we relate to Him.

We topped off the night by going to Ghirardelli in SF, where all the guys shared an Earthquake, and the girls paired off to share desserts that were more manageable and less beastly. They were missing out in my honest opinion. Haha.

Earthquake. The guys' reactions...

The gals, and their easy-to-manage desserts.

The aftermath... Devastation!

Before and after... Something in the ice cream?

And that’s a wrap… until next Friday. If you guys couldn’t make it out last night, be sure to come out next Friday! You don’t want to miss it. Oh and in case you didn’t hear, we’re gonna try to set up a big game of co-ed Ultimate Frisbee next week. Who’s game?

Stay cool out there.
