Last night I attended this megachurch' Single Adults Ministry Luau.
Mr Magic told me last week about the event as a barbecue, and I asked if I could crash the party. Without any confirmation, I decided to go.
So, here I was.
It looked like over 250 people attended this occasion, dressed in Hawaiian shirts and various garb. And, yes, some folks wore their plastic leis. Besides single parents' kids, I don't think anyone under 28 attended the event.
As a single adult male over 30, I felt quite comfortable with these people at the luau.
For future reference and for those who plan another similar event, please get more than one grill and more than one person to grill the burgers and dawgs.
Hint. Hint. People don't like waiting in lines too long.
While I was waiting in line to grab a burger and hot dog, it felt like a monsoon outpour flashed in front of us. For a few seconds, the trash cans, plastic bags, and portions of food went flying.
People forgot that they were in a church function. Certain individuals cut in front of the line or skipped around people to get to the grill. One woman screamed, "I'm very hungry." Well, so am I.
Nevertheless, we let her grab the meat.
After the rain stopped and people got their foods, we went back inside to find seating. The singles ministry pastors talked a bit about the future directions for this ministry.
I may bring this idea up to our own church leadership. It was a good ceremony for fellowship. People were comfortable and didn't feel inhibited.
By the way, as Mr Magic and I were leaving the church, we approached a lone table outside where the grill was located earlier. In the middle of this table was aluminum foil containing foodstuff. Guess what was in it in the middle of this lone table?
You guessed it.
Quite a number of meat patties and slightly burned hot dogs were there.
