Get your game face ready: We're playing football.

We'll gather at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 at the field of Church of the Assumption B.V.M., 3701 Bethlehem Pike in Upper Saucon Township (just west of Bethlehem.)

Of course, girls and guys welcome. It's two-hand touch and you really don't need a "game face" to play. (Just trying to grab your attention.) It's all fun and good.

So join us for an evening of gridiron action and spiritual camaraderie. If you can, arrive early. We won't have lights so we'll play as long as daylight allows. Those who attend Bible study know where the church is. Otherwise these directions may help.

If you plan on playing, or have any questions, please reply to me at tom@abcya.org Hope to see you there.

God Bless!

Happy birthday this month to Gene B. (3), Ellen P. (10), Chris B. (16), Jon F. and Jennifer R. (18), Chris J. (21), Han Thanh N. (25), John R. (27), and Steven G. (30). We thank God for you and wish you His love and peace in the year ahead.

Dust off your hiking boots: We're headed to Delaware Water Gap. Please join us on Saturday, Oct. 31 as we explore, even conquer, nature's rugged terrain. (Yes, it's a different way to spend Halloween. We'll pretend we're hikers.)

We'll hike Mt. Minsi in Pennsylvania. The path climbs about 1,000 feet, spans four miles round trip, and takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete, according to the park service. It also offers impressive views of Mt. Tammany, based across the river in New Jersey.

Let's meet about 9:30 a.m. at the K-Mart/LA Fitness shopping center off 25th Street in Wilson Borough, between Route 22 and William Penn Highway, near Easton and Palmer Township. Expect to leave by 10 a.m. and return about 4 p.m.

DWG is a national park so the event is free. Probably wise to pack lunch. Any questions or suggestions, contact me at tom@abcya.org. Hope you can make it.

P.S.: In case anyone doesn't get my humor, the headline is a reference to the Nancy Sinatra 1966 hit: "These Boots Are Made For Walking." :)
