A record 26 pax ventured over to #Thunder this morning for the culmination of week 2 at F3Columbia’s newest AO. It did not take long for everyone to realize they walked squarely into a trap….a Grease Trap. In his maiden Q Grease Trap made the most of the campus at Hand Middle School (and Emily Douglas Park which YHC considers an extension of Hand for our purposes) managing to work in some new twists, a good bit of running, and burpees galore.

Any and all are welcome to this series led by Brad Bird. Lunch is provided (typically by Groucho’s) and the group meets from noon-12:45. While not an official F3 group this is another opportunity to share fellowship AND faith for anyone interested.
i believe that was mozart being pumped over the loud speakers at the “wailing wall”..i move to change name to “#first chair” or #general admission orchestral seating….just saying…there’s potential there.
I like it.
