September events!

Monday, Sept 11 – No Servants

Monday, September 18th – Scavenger Hunt/Not-a-BBQ
The new year of Servants kicks off with a no holds barred* scavenger hunt throughout the church grounds. You will need all your speed and cunning to decipher each clue and find the next one before the other teams. In fact, bring extra speed and/or cunning. Oh, and there will be food, but it will not be a BBQ. Why? Because barbecue is “a slow process using indirect heat and/or hot smoke” while grilling is “a fast process over high heat.” I guess I could have just said we’ll be grilling. Also, that’s not a “2” up there in the title. It’s a “Q”. You should have learned cursive by now.
*Certain holds will be barred.

Sunday, September 24th - Girls Night
Sunday, September 24th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. We'll meet at Brooke's apartment in Evanston (2112 Sherman Ave #2E) for dinner and games. Bring any pictures or stories you've gathered from the summer and come ready to catch up with one another and maybe meet some new people! Friends always welcome! For directions or answers to your questions, contact Brooke at brooke@wcc-joinus.org or 847.441.3400 x27

Sunday, September 24th – Guys' Night
Guys' Night starts up this year with a nice, relaxing round of golf—disc golf. We'll be going to Fink Park in Highland Park. Don't worry; it's nicer than it sounds. In fact, the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) has this to say about the course at Fink Park: "Beautiful park bordered by a country club, condos and a creek. Long, mostly open and often windy. Good turf for rolling. Some mature trees add difficulty." Yes, there is a Professional Disc Golf Association. Golf discs will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. Any and all skill levels are welcome, and Rob will provide a short workshop at the beginning, including which excuses to make for a bad throw.
We'll meet at the church at 4pm and drive to the park from there. Afterwards, we'll have dinner at Michael's in Highland Park (so bring a little cash).

Monday, September 25th – I Know What I Did Last Summer
I spent all summer trying to get in shape by playing “Dance Dance Revolution.” Some people spent their time more productively. Hear about some incredible things your fellow Servants did this summer, from Africa to Alaska to places even further down the alphabet.

Wednesday, September 27th – Soul Food
Servants on a Wednesday? That’s right. Servants is expanding. Once a month on Wednesdays we’ll be offering more Servants with a little more. Soul Food is to Monday night Servants as Chicago-style pizza is to New York-style pizza: Deeper. We’ll examine spirituality both in ourselves and in literature and pop culture. Also, there will be food. The name probably clued you in to that.
