Dance Party!!!

We have been hosting our Friday night dinners for the past 10 months.  During that time we have had many visitors attend our house.  I'd say we've made contacted with over hundred people over the course of time.  It seems like every Friday is dinner.  We have had as many as 35 people and other times small crowds.  It's been cool to see people hanging out and getting to know one another, they really have been an important part of our community.  This past Friday was a first.  It was Halloween and we decided to dress up in our costumes.  We had Sarah Palin, a white jimmy Hendrix, a crazy basketball player, a baseball player, and of course Clark Kent/Superman.  We started out the night eat sugary foods and walked downtown to see the Thriller reenactment.  We walked backed home, plundered more food at the Wesley Foundation and headed back to the house.  When we came to the house some of us shared how we enjoyed dancing.  Someone said we should have a dance party.  Everybody thought it would be fun to do so we got the music going and turned it up loud.  We had a great time and the fun part was something we did not expect.  Cars were stopping outside and asked if we were having a party.  If I would have known I would have invited them in but told them we did not have alcohol.  Since last Friday night was a big hit we are talking about revamping Friday night into dinner, board games, and a dance party.   We are simply trying to contextualize our evangelism strategy to the neighborhood.
