Greetings and welcome to the Canter Blog for the Canterbury Connection at the University of Virginia. Wow! That was a mouthfull to say (or should I say type). If you're on Facebook and would like to check out our Facebook group, please visit the link attached to this posting.
So far, Canterbury has had a successful semester. We've seen lots of new faces at our weekly discussions and are glad for it! We hope you all keep joining us every Wednesday.
Our first few weeks were primarily focused on getting to know new students, worship with all of us, and bible study led by one of our students in the Young Priest's Intiative-Matthew Lukens. The next few weeks saw a talk on using Yoga as a form of prayer as well as a fun afternoon which we spent playing "The Name Game."
Dan Brown gave us the idea to play this particular game, promising it would be a great time. The game has very few rules and purely competitive. Participants are divided into 2 teams, there is a judge (in this case our Chaplain-Neal), a bowl, and a mother's worst nightmare - torn up sheets of paper with bits of writing on them. These pieces of paper found their way into this bowl and then the chaos ensued. Each team approximately 1 minute to give as many clues towards the mystery person's identity without actually saying their name. Exactly like rapid association. I saw blue you say the first thing that comes to mind - bubble gum.
Our last meeting was held on the Lawn for Canterbury's annual "Games on the Lawn." We enjoyed delicious Take - it - Away sandwiches, cupcakes courtesy of Hannah, and played non-competitive kick-ball on the lawn, in addition to Red Rover.
Keep checking back for more Canter News!
Yours,
Sean
P.S.- We at Canterbury are overly fond of puns involving the word Canter and anything that might pertain to Canterbury. There will definitely be more to come!
