Happy Hour + Concert + Conference + Worship + more!

I'm back in Virginia and missing all of you!  For those of you who are around over the next couple weeks, here are some upcoming events:

Tues 1/5/2010, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Christmas is almost over: Tomorrow is the 12th (last) day of Christmas!  To celebrate, there will be a 12th Night Young Adult Happy Hour in DC at Mackey's, 1823 L St NW, Washington,DC (near the Farragut North & Farragut West Metro Stations).  Unlike our typical activities, you must be 21 or older to attend this event.  (I didn't pick the venue, so don't blame me!)  Call/text Ben at 703-829-0220 if you plan to attend -- I can provide rides to Metro & such!  See http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=233229426095
