Need color in your life?


Our Connexxion group had a big "Black and White" Party theme on Monday to open the new college semester -- and it was a hit! See happy faces of Deanna & Elisa (left), & Thomas & Sebastian (right)!!! Thomas made a collection of our group's photos, turned them into black & white images, and had a slide show running on my TV.

Imagine trying to come up with every possible decoration & food for this motto (THANK you, Antje, for creativity!). E.g., walls checkered with black construction paper; an Elvis photo; spotted cow; black & white kitchen utensils; Cuban black beans & rice; Oreo cookies from America-- in limited supply so that I selfishly didn't want to share too many; black olives in white Penne pasta salad; tiny pumpernickel bread sandwiches with cream cheese; etc.... And everyone could find something appropriate to wear! (And Monica, your gift shirt was perfect for the event; I'm standing with Eckart and Rebecca.)

The "color" was provided by interesting conversations, laughter, and a cool atmosphere. God blessed the time and we met new friends, played Pictionary and had fun! (Conny & Sabine, below; Stefan with funky sunglasses!).
