Bonfire and Dumpling Night (W)rap-up
By Richard Y on Oct 31, 2011 | Filed under Photos, Recap

For those of you who couldn’t make it to the second message from our “Pause” series, you missed out on some incredible Evil Beanbag drama. Don’t worry, you can catch the gripping, edge-of-your-seat finale this Friday! Don’t miss it!
After Pastor Daniel’s message, we packed up and drove over to Mission Bay for some sausages, s’mores and s’more around an epic bonfire. As you can see in the pictures below, the fire was pretty toasty, but we had many courageous skewer swordsmen who would not be daunted by the heat.
After we had our fill of goodies, we gathered around and shared some scary stories, and our SUP brothers gave us a delightful rendition of “Lean on Me.” Not to be outdone, the Frosh brothers gave their all–not only singing, but rapping for us as well!
Saturday night we had a blast putting together some savory dumplings and devouring them to our hearts’ content. We had a cozy time gathered around the tables throughout Pastor Daniel and Sarah’s house, wrapping up delicious nuggets of dumpling goodness. Those who were totally new to dumpling-making were transformed into wrapping experts after a short lesson from our master wrappers and esteemed guests from Berkeley, Pastor Jonathan and Susanna!
Not long after we all got to work, we were enjoying the fruits of our labor. Boiled, pan-fried, deep-fried–you name it! We even got to see some creative and artistic deviations from the norm–some of the biggest hits of the evening were the Dumpling Inception, the Potsticker Pirate, and the Wonton Wizard’s Hat.
We ended our evening with an epic King Kong Shower tournament, where our staff demonstrated masterful skills.
They say that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but don’t worry, you can make your own dumplings and eat them too. Join us next time if you missed out!
