Help Needed: Young Adults Lunches:
Back in October we had a young adults lunch - 17 of us had some home cooked food and spent quality time together in No 10.
We want to make this a regular thing but we want the wider corps to get involved. Many corps have student lunches, where people offer to have students over for lunch. At Regent Hall this is harder for us to do, so we have had to think a little differently.
We’d like to launch young adult lunches as a monthly event open to anyone from sixth form, (that’s Year 12) to 25 years old. We want our lunches to include anyone in this age range as we realise that not everyone goes to university and many young adults move to London for work.
I know most people are not in this age range, so the great news is that once you get to 26 you can get involved in one of three ways:
-
You can offer to cook - there is a kitchen with a commercial oven we can use in No 10
-
You can offer to help host the lunch - help with getting the room ready and clearing away
-
You can offer to sponsor the lunch - you can help financially
So, this is a call for support: if you’re interested in cooking, hosting or sponsoring the lunches please let me know.
We’re also on the look out for someone who can co-ordinate the lunches by putting together the rota.
Being a young adult is an important time - for many of us it’s the first time we get to choose whether we actually want to go to church and which church we would like to go to. These lunches will help us welcome new people to our church family and encourage the friendships and intergenerational support network that makes Regent Hall so special. It would be great if this is something the corps can help drive forwards so please have a think about how you may be able to support.
Thank you!
