We'll meet at 5:30pm with all your stuff @ Div College Parking lot.
And now, a list of things to bring:
- pillow

- materials for manuscript study (pen, pencils, coloured pencils, markers)
- Bible
- notebook for taking notes
- towel
- toiletries
- warm clothes
- indoor shoes/slippers

In the main meeting hall, the heating is not perfect. The front of the room can be very hot and the back very cold. The solution: wear layers!

Hi everyone! Welcome back... we hope you all had a very fun and relaxing break and are ready to get back into the swing of things with school starting once again. Here are a couple things that we've got coming of @ MacVCF...

It'll be pretty low key with some good food and games as a way to welcome everyone back and see how the holidays were. If you could bring some kind of appetizer that would be great. And feel free to be creative with it and bring something interesting! Interesting is always good... Anyone is welcome, so feel free to invite friends as well. Hope to see you all there!
