Canterbury Goes Bowling!

We were originally suppose to go play several rounds of intensely competitive putt-putt golf yesterday.  But Tropical Storm Lee had other plans for the Canterbury Group.  With some last minute planning, the leaders decided to instead go bowling.

Now Putt-Putt Golf is certainly fun for all at any age; but bowling is a timeless classic that takes me back to movies like Grease.  Or generally anything that deals with 1950s culture:  poodle skirts, leather jackets, and t-birds.  Doesn't get much better than that.

And even though nobody dressed in time period appropriate clothing, it still looked like a good time.  Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to our monthly "fun" activity.  But doesn't everyone look like they're having a blast in this picture?  Well, sans the ironic pose with their iPhones ;)!

And if you're wondering why I referred to this outing as our monthly "fun" activity, you're about to find out.

Last year -- with the help and encouragement of our Chaplain -- we decided to create a loose program so that we'd have some sort of schedule to follow every month.  It goes something like Bible study, worship, fun, guest speaker.  Although not necessarily in that order.  That's also not to say that we don't have fun whenever we gather.  It's just that we like to schedule one outing or non-brain power-requiring activity a month.  Think of it as bonding time.  Or community building -- if you're into more chic terminology!
