Kroc Hop Bunny Drop 2010

One fantastic Kroc Center tradition is that we throw open the doors, gates and entryways every Easter weekend for all the community to gather together in celebration, games and good, safe family activities

Click below to see few pictures from last year’s event (with WAY more people than we’re expecting this year!):

This year’s Kroc Hop Bunny Drop will feature games and prizes, the rock wall and bounce houses will be open to the public, and $5 gets you an all-access pass to the entire Kroc Center.

Seekers: Men’s Fellowship Breakfast

Kroc Center men are pretty fantastic people.  So, Kroc Center men, we invite you to join us for a breakfast at IHOP.

You’re paying your own way (we never said we’d make this easy.  You wouldn’t want that anyway, would you?).  We’ll share a big table; we’ll break bread (waffles?) in fellowship.  Maybe we’ll set big, hairy goals for ourselves, or maybe we’ll just enjoy the moment.  However it all works out, we’d love for you to be there with us.

Interested?  Of course you are!  Click here for a little more information.

Wanna Play?

The big Bunco game is now a quarterly gig, so you’ll want to come to the October game or you’ll have to wait until 2010!

Bunco is a fast-past, exciting game played with regular game board dice.  Ouronly guarantee is that you can’t possibly get bored – and that three people will walk away with prizes.  That’s right, a prize for scoring the most “Buncos”, a prize for the most wins and even a prize for the most losses.

No experience necessary. Even the numbskullest of numbskulls can learn the game in about three minutes!  So come on – give us an RSVP and come have a night out!

Spring Food Drive Launching Soon!

We can all be a part of the greater ministry throughout the Kroc Center, and this is just one of many easy ways to do it.
