Recap & New Dates

Okay, for those of you who didn't come last Saturday... you so missed out! 10 of us got together and had an absolute blast! We had 7 girls working on finishing the bleachers and 3 guys helping Dad with preparing the wagon with siderails and benches. I was impressed with the amount of work done. :) Dad mentioned something about a "secret recipe" with his burger grilling. He must have done *something* for sure, cause they were amazing! And Rosemary... those lemon bars!! My goodness were those yummy! - as was the potato salad! Thank you *everyone* for bringing something to share, it helped out a great deal!! After dark we played a very daring game of "Kick the Can"... fun times!! So far I've heard stories of Abby faceplanting in a spider web and I have a great memory of sneaking around the truck bed and coming face-to-face with Alex whose reaction I'll always remember. ;) (love you Alex) I loved our discussion time during Bible Study. You guys have so much to share and I enjoy hearing your hearts! I really pray that these get-togethers will be a time of encouragement to you and a time to fan that spark of passion for Christ within you so that you *can* be encouraged to go out and share Him. Remember - we can never be more the body of Christ than when we are among the broken... loving, serving, giving. That's what you are called to do!

Okay, Elisabeth wanted me to announce 2 dates to you... October 23 and October 30. She's planning an all-day work day to get some arena lights put in. (YAY!! - it's been a long time coming and she's so ready. :) Both days will start with the coffee-pot brewing around 8:00, and I'll have nom-noms and juice out for you. ;) We'll start work around 9:00 and go until mid(ish)-afternoon with lunch in between.

I know what you're thinking... Yes, on October 23, we will have also our next get-together. You are invited to come and start with us at 9, in fact we'd love it if you would! And then our regular discipleship/fellowship schedule will start at around 1:00. Everyone come and bring your friends!! We'll work another couple or 3 hours to start, then have fellowship time, supper, Bible Study and a game or praise jam. We'll provide lunch as part of the work day, but supper will be another bring-something-to-help dinner. I'll share more later.

Love you guys!!
