“Mennohaus”– what’s that?
Mennohaus: an occasional tradition of great friends, tasty food, significant conversation, periodic beans & rice collaboratives, and now… perhaps…maybe–
“Family edition”–To start us off on the “family edition” we’re looking for people of all ages connecting around multi-age group games and songs you may have grown up with in the backcountry of S. America or Africa or Asia…or the US.
So, you say, thanks for the explanation, but what does all this mean?
Arriving this Friday January 2nd to Beth & Flavio’s at around 6:30. No need to be exact, but since there will be some with early bedtimes we want to get going on the early side. On the other hand, if you and yours will arrive on the later side, give us a call on the way over for an update; we plan on having plenty of food!
Bringing
1) an idea (one per family needed) for a multi-age group game or activity (for example: musical chairs, charades, a rollicking fun song with gestures)
2) Soup bowls for you and yours (silverware, napkins, and simple drinks provided)
Eating
Menu: Vegetarian Harvest Stew– seasoned beans, squash, corn etc and toasty bread. If this doesn’t work for someone in your family…bring something with you that they will eat. We won’t be offended.
Thinking
We hope you and yours find this to be a neat experience around food & fellowship, a loosely crafted ‘family edition’ experience with a shared faith and desire to connect at its core. Perhaps the first of many…
Doing
Come wanting to talk, laugh, listen, and be silly.
The gathered group may end up using everybody’s activities, or not, just depends.
Let us know if you’ll try and be here,
See you then!
Flavio and Beth
