The Great Midnight Piefest       

Twas the night before Christmas...

Brainstorming creative ways to bless college, raise the profile of cell, and kickstart some Jesus-related chatter, we fell back on an old staple to share some Christmas Spirit...

A Sainsbury's 2 for 1 offer*, 250 mincepies and a brief terrorist alert later (surprising how much a pie-filled rucksack can look like its stuffed with Semtex... thanks Tim!) and the Operation Midnight PieFest was well underway under the cover of darkness.

Ah... what gasps of joy went up and what smiles of delight lit up the chubby little undergrad faces the next morning. Such a proliferation of pastry had never before been seen.

Some pocketed the pies, others ate them as hangover cures or breakfast. The scariest atheist in college had a friendly chat with Jen about Jesus, and there were crumbs all over the post-room carpet. People smiled, and so did the porters. Maybe Christians weren't so bad after all...

Happy Christmas Corpus.   

You're worth a pie any day
