Pentecost Feast! This Sunday (5/31) is the Feast of Pentecost, which celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus' disciples, as told in Acts 2:1-13. In the story, the disciples are gathered together when BAM! the Spirit rushes in and sends them out, speaking about God's amazing power. Jerusalem is packed that day, since it's the Jewish festival of Shavuot, and people from all over the Mediterranean and the Middle East hear the disciples speaking and understand them in their own languages!
To commemorate and celebrate this inter-national event, we're having an international feast! As with all of our events, EVERYONE is welcome to join us for eating good food and playing games. It will be picnic-style and pot-luck style, so bring a blanket and food from another country (if you can).
Time: 5pm to 9pm sounds about right. We might stay a little later depending on who wants to and if four hours cannot contain the fun of eating and playing games.
Location: Outside on the lawn by the Johnson Center, by North Plaza. The weather should be nice, but if not then we'll move into the JC.
That's all! If you can, bring something international. I'm bringing falafel and some side dishes, so feel free to mix it up with food from Asia, Latin America, Africa, or Europe (Italian food counts!).
Bowling! Join us on Thursday, June 4 at 9pm, for bowling at Bowl America Burke. Cost is between $12 and $15-- the more people come the lower the cost! Location is 5615 Guinea Rd Fairfax, VA 22032. If you need a hand with cost, no problem. Questions about rides, money, or anything else? Email or facebook Mason Lutherans (lutheran@gmu.edu)
Future events! We're thinking about a camping trip later in the summer, and probably mini-golf sometime too! If you have ideas, email or facebook Mason Lutherans (lutheran@gmu.edu)
