Fun, Food and Fellowship

Monday evening was my Small Group picnic. We had such a good time. A lot of good conversation, laughing, and we even played on the playground. My group decided to invite another group so we could get to know some new people.

Our church has gotten to be very large--growing from approximately 60 people seven years ago to a weekly attendance of about 1000 now.

That is why the Small Groups are so important--to help maintain the closeness of the church, a place where you can be safe and share your concerns, your praises, learn and study God's word and what it means in your life today.

Here's a few pics from the picnic:






This is my son. Yes, he is 27 years old, and he's riding one of the tiny ponies for little kids. Looks like he's really enjoying it though!!




This is my youngest, visiting from Texas, sliding down the firepole!


And a beautiful sunset at the end of our day!!!

Who could ask for more?

K--that's all for a while!

Wow 60 to 1000 people, that's a big difference.

Looks like the kids had a great time. Still praying for them.
