BikeHiker: "I'm breakable."

[Many of you know Pastor John Hay from the cafe Bible study Wednesday mornings... ]



"I'm embarrassed about it, but it happened. Mountain biking with a couple of guys from church early Wednesday morning at Washington Township Park in Avon, I went off the edge of a trail bridge, fell eight feet, and really did a number on my ribs, back, right scapula, and sternum. A beautiful early-morning bike hike turned into torturous pain, an ambulance ride, trauma center care, and three days in a hospital bed.

John: 16 fractures, including two compressed vertebrae."

Seniors and the Internet... Class or Clash?

Seniors get together at the Unleavened Bread Cafe (30th St. x Central Ave... map) at 10 a.m. on the 1st Tuesday of every month, to fellowship in a diverse setting, and to learn from each other... and others who will share their gifts & experience.

This monthly get-together is sponsored by the Mid-North Shepherd's Center.

July 3rd is the next meeting (10am) -- the topic of which will be "Seniors & the Internet... Clash or Class?"



The featured guest speaker will be Neil Cox, Founder of IndyChristian.com. Neil now serves as the director of the new "Center For Urban Innovation" at Crossroads Bible College. Neil regularly volunteers with the cafe's "Ask Anything Saturday" program for friends of the cafe neighborhood.

So Seniors... bring your questions, your suggestions, and a pencil & paper... And let's have some fun... as we decide... "Class or Clash?"

Paul Williams... 50 years of achievement

Here are a couple of important photos taken at the cafe recently...



Paul Williams has been a neighborhood friend and businessman here in the Mapleton Fall Creek area of Indy. Paul operated the local laundrymat and was known by all. It was only fitting recently, as his friends and neighbors bestowed this award on him, recognizing & honoring his achievement and service among us.

"The Film That Failed"

I enjoyed finding this on YouTube so I could easily share it with all of you...



And I had to laugh as I watched it -- very funny, and very creative. Good job everyone!

Christine is the daughter of an urban pastor friend of the cafe... Pastor Bryan Hudson... who runs a MultiMedia camp for youth nearby. Check out their YouTube site... definitely cool!

Ok, now that we've seen Christine's handiwork... here's some handiwork from Pastor Hudson, the (very) proud father, as she recently graduated from Heritage Christian High School, with considerable achievements... including a $120,000 college scholarship.
