At our fellowship we play this little game called “King-Kong Shower.” It’s a rhythm-based, 4-beat game, where each person has a verbal callsign and motion. If you get called but you don’t react, or if you call a person who’s already out, you get knocked from the ring.
Last weekend we had the class of ’09 bros from Berkeley visit, and so we had a massive round of King-Kong Shower. There were many potential lines of battle – Texas v/s California, young versus old, bros versus sisters…
But in the end, Texas handily ousted the California bros (maybe they were a little rusty since it’s been a year since they graduated), and it came down to four contestants, battling for title of “King-Kong Shower Champion”: two staff (Del and Dom), and two students (Andrew and Sam Song).
The final round video is below. It was a hotly contested result. Reactions varied wildly, with one side claiming the win, the other side crying ‘foul!’. You be the judge: did David really blow away two opponents with one fell swoop? or were Sam and Andrew in the clear, victims of a premature victory celebration? Post a comment with your take on these crucial final seconds of bout of “King-Kong Shower”!
The sophs+ (that’s ‘sophs and up’!) had a whirlwind 24-hr trip out to the beautiful Central Texas hill country – leaving Friday night right after the TFN, we went to the spacious rental house and had yummy, warm beef barley soup to fend off the chill, quesadillas (cooked up by our soph+ sisters), and played some fun games, topped off with a stirring viewing of ‘Glory Road’ (go UTEP!). And that was just the first night! The following day some bros caught the sunrise, some went fishing, and then after brunch and devotional time, everyone got together for a drive over to Enchanted Rock (‘North America’s largest pluton’), where we hiked up to some crazy rock formations, fished at Moss Lake, and then capped it off with a gorgeous sunset at the end of the Summit Trail. The drive home was chock-full of funny jokes, riddles, and Talkabout-car games, with a stop off at Cooper’s BBQ in the middle. Phew! It was such a blast, and we can’t wait for our next soph+ outing!
Looking for a cozier group to connect with? At our LIFE groups, we:
L – Listen in order to better love one another (listen to each other’s struggles as well as listen to others as they bring God’s word into our life) I – Intercede on behalf of each other as well as other common concerns F – Fellowship with one another E – Engage God (help each other bring God into the center of our lives) and Engage God’s word together
We meet weekly in the middle of the week and usually start with a home-cooked meal followed by a meaningful discussion, and always some fun time of hanging out. Sign up if you would like to check out a life group.
Join us for our worship service as we begin a new series “Follow Me.” We will follow Jesus’ life and teachings through the gospel of Luke. Dinner will be provided afterwards.
