Whether you’re at birthday parties, church parlors, gambling halls or backyard bbq’s, bingo can be your go-to game of choice. I mean, after once the pinata are busted, candles are extinguished, and your welcome in front of the one armed bandit has drawn its final breath, a friendly game of bingo is the greatest ways to round out a delightful evening. Not only is it fun for all ages, but is known to bring out the untamed animal within. One moment you can be as peaceful as a forest lemur dangling from a tree branch, but once your ear drums are delicately caressed by the sounds of ‘B13’, the ferocious jungle cat within you awakens and vows to take no prisoners. It claws through its protective layer known as self control and emanates a roar that dashes the hopes of all other contestant, where all within earshot will bow before your cunning and wile as the screams of ‘BINGO!!!!!!!’ slice through the air and pierce their hearts like a carving knife through a Christmas ham.
Game on, my friends.
[Sunday Liturgy]
For centuries, people waited for a messiah that would bring hope to a broken world full of suffering and despair. Even now in the 21st century, the world continues to be filled with news of war, recession and anxiety. Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty, this season of advent is a welcome change of pace for church communities to hope, rest and remember. Join us this advent season as different voices from the Vox community lead us in remembering when hope entered the world. Our Sunday Liturgy is at 11:00 AM at Space 12 (3121 East 12th Street).
[Lost and Found]
No, we’re not referring to the band whose song ‘Lions’ features the slinky as a percussion instrument. We’re referring to the bin of unclaimed goodies and homeless artifacts located next to the water cooler by the bar at Space12. If you think you may have left something at Space12, chances are it’s been put into the lost and found bin. At the end of each month, we plan on donating the contents of the lost and found bin, so please check to make sure you haven’t misplaced anything you don’t mind passing along to those who can use it.
[Christmas Party]
To celebrate Jesus, mangers and all things Nativity, there will be a Christmas party hosted by like-minded church communities at Space12 starting at 6pm. If you’re a fan of food, films and the virgin birth, come join us for what will be a pretty wicked Christmas celebration that will be talked about by generations to come. In addition to great times, we will have a free screening of the holiday classic ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’. For more information, check out the facebook event.
[Neighborhoods Survey]
In preparation for the new neighborhood season slated to launch in the Spring, we wanted to get some feedback on your experience with neighborhoods this past semester. We have created a digital survey for your convenience, so if you could fill it out and tell is your thoughts about neighborhoods, that would be greatly appreciated. The survey can be found here.

[WYOMP]
You might be wondering what this acronym stands for. Well, allow me to spill the beans!! WYOMP stands for ‘Wash Your Own Mugs, Please ‘. One of the new perks of having our liturgy at Space12 is the plethora of mugs and drinking utensils at our disposal. Unfortunately, when the liturgy is over and the snacks are all consumed, the once clean cups are left dirty and all alone in the sink. If you could, after you have finished enjoying the delightful snacks and beverages, please lend a hand with washing the mugs and drinkware. That would be greatly appreciated.
[Won’t You Be My Friend?]

We would like to be friends with you!! We promise to not Zombie bite you, nor will we ask you to join our kingdom. We just want to be your friend because that will make us happy. Click here to add Vox as a friend and here to add Space12 as a friend.
