Tea & Talk

 My freshman year in college, my dorm RA was trying to come up with an activity for everyone on the floor to “just hang out and relax,” something that would promote community.  I rapidly suggested the title.  She loved it and we started promoting Tea & Talk every Thursday night; making hot tea and coco in the foyer for all who wished to partake.  The program gained momentum and was continued into the next year.  However, at the end of my sophomore year, everyone involved moved out of the dorms – including myself.  Everyone who attended Tea & Talk moved in with someone else who attended in one way or another (we were a really close knit dorm floor).  After one semester of being without each other’s company, I and another former attendee revived the weekly night of community.  There were many nights of just the two of us having tea and cakes at her place, but we soon grew to having old and new friends regularly attend.

I am now working on continuing the “community promoting” event as I work to minister to college students.  Every Thursday night at 8 PM in front of the LCCC library, I have hot water for tea, coffee and coco with cakes and other snacks on occasion.  So come and join us as we talk about life experiences, complex scientific theories, recipes, home projects, the latest in entertainment, and anything else you may have cross your mind.
