Calvin's First Annual "souperbowl" event and spending time at 220 viewmount.

 "Soup"erBowl Potluck Event

Greetings once again. 

After a GREAT "Learning Opportunity" during March break, fellowship events continue to happen at Calvin.  

This one was a new event for us. 

A spoof on watching the super bowl game, I learned of a "Souperbowl" potluck event by another church and decided to try it here at Calvin. 

It was a hit!!  : ) 

The idea is that:

1. People come and bring their favourite pot of soup.  

2. Those who attend taste test all the soups, 

3. Then select their top three soups. 

4. The soup with the most votes wins the "Golden Ladle!!" 

We were not sure how many would come out, but we got 22 pots of soup and about 55 ish people.  

Whoot!! : ) 

The soups are numbered and ready to be tasted.  

Let the selection begin.  

Yes Jeremy, what to select first?? : )

That is the question.   

There were also bread and salads 

People took multiple bowls, reused their same bowl, or just stood at the tables and sampled from bowl to bowl : ) 

It was fun watching everyone try to figure out their top 3.  

Here's a listing of all the soups.  

Quite a variety.  

And very delicious!! 

One person took copious notes to ensure their top three choices were the best choices :) 

You'll see on the table the basket that the voting sheets went into.  

Gabby tallied up the results.  

And she made our very own 

"Golden Ladle"!!!  : ) 

So, at the end of the day, here are the winners. 

3rd place went to Annet and Evert with their Split Pea & Sausage

2nd place went to Carrie and Michael with their Dill Pickle

and

1ST PLACE went to Phil with his Carrot Ginger. 

Here is his acceptance speech.  

Listen carefully, as the audio could be clearer. 

This will happen again next year for sure : ) 

We just need to find a way to have people sample several soups at once : )  

Thanks to the fellowship committee for helping make this event a great success 

AND thanks to all who made a delicious soup for us.  

Whooooottttt !!!! : ) 

Games night at 220 Viewmount

Once again our youth group travelled to 220 Viewmount to spend time with some residents there fellowshipping through games.   

It was a smaller crowd this time due to the flu travelling through the building, but fun was still had by all. 

This group is learning how to play Mexican Train.  

This group as well.  

Uno is always a fun and easy game to play.  

And Quirkle.  A game we play often at home.  

It was a good time of fellowship. 

Thanks to those youth who came out and mingled.  

Blessings to you alllllllll  : ) 

Whoot!!!!
