Coffee House

Posted in Family Life

I was a chaperone tonight for Coffee House at our church. Every Friday night in the winter, our Youth Room is a Coffee House, with coffee, soda, and snacks for sale and a live band. The youth room has 2 pool tables, 2 ping pong tables, carpetball, air hockey, and foosball, so there is a lot for the kids to do. Tonight, the band was "Under Construction", our own youth praise band. Sarah plays keyboard and sings, and Eric is learning to work the sound board. About 20 teens from our homeschool support group came tonight for our monthly social gathering as well.  Everyone seemed to have fun.  The band was a tad loud for my taste, and I couldn't understand all the words ( BOY, do I sound old!  I guess the hearing gets more sensitive with the years....)  My "job" was  Game Security, which basically is just making sure the kids don't get overzealous with the pool cues or carpet balls!  Not much to do but sit and watch people.

 

Well, I should get to bed.  Tomorrow we have 5 basketball games ~ 2 for Sarah (9:00 AM and 4:30 PM), 2 for Eric (11:30 AM and 3:15 PM), and 1 for Jason ( 1:00 PM).  Lighthouse, Fayetteville, and Cabarrus homeschool teams are all playing at Franklin Academy tomorrow. Cabarrus comes from about 3 hours away, and decided to play 2 teams in one day instead of making 2 trips out here.  Pretty smart.

J really enjoyed this and she said she thought many others did, too. What a good alternative to all the other stuff out there and what a fun way for our "unsocialized" homeschoolers to get together (if they add any more "socialization" to our schedule I think we'll have to add a few hours to each day!). As far as our trees, you're welcome to come dig holes with me any time!! Heehee!! Enjoy the bball games - I think J is gonna try to make it to one or two to cheer the teams on before she goes to yet another get-together tonight (see previous remark about socialization!!). Take care and have a great day! Bring your family and some extra post hole diggers and come see me ANYTIME!!

now I now who you are. My daughters are Rachel and Missy - Rachel is one of the assistant historians. So she and Sarah must know each other! Small world isn't it? By the way, where is your church? Our youth went to Youngsville to Faith Baptist last week to their Coffee Shop time but there was a problem and they wound up having to cancel the event. So, our kids (ever resourceful) got the guys to take them to get pizza somewhere in Youngsville. Our youth would love to join you at your church sometime. My email is gramma2them@yahoo.com -- email me if you get a chance and give me the location of the church, etc. thanks, di
