Recap Lane

Food. We filled up 3 huge tables at Royal East on Friday night, then proceeded to eat more at the welcome pot-luck on Saturday night. Peng wins the award for cooking the most food by mass (and in the least amount of time!). We should have paired these events with a workout...oh wait, we did: Kevin's Grand Tour of Boston!

Prayer Square

• Pray for great connections to develop at Thrive!
• Pray for all the new leaders at GCF as they embark on a fun and challenging journey serving God!
• Pray for the new lunch time small group starting up this semester. Pray for God to clear a path for a student leader to rise up in the group.
