Whoa! It's been a while since we entered anything on here. Spring tends to fly by and be so busy. Just a brief wrap up of our Spring events since last update:
- Terrific Youth Sunday! Melinda and Gair's planning and the kids' execution was very powerful and meaningful. We had comments like "best youth Sunday program ever" etc.
- Great "Fun Raiser" with the youth putting on a fantastic talent show. Wonderful BBQ thanks to the men of the church.
- Beach Trip - See Andy's note below:
We had a fantastic time at Topsail Beach on the Spring Retreat. This year's theme was "The Upside of Down Time" and we learned all about Sabbath. We learned why rest is important (and even a commandment from God). We stayed in a rockin' beach house that came complete with a pool table, ping pong table (on which Eric Fletcher dominated), an air hockey table, and a foosball table. We ate great food, colored awesome pictures, dove into cold water, relaxed ourselves from toe-to-head ("breath iiiinnnnn, breath ooooouuuut"), watched dog shows on TV, threw balls at each other while blindfolded, played competition twister, and even managed to get a few hours of sleep. Most braved the cold water to enjoy hopping over and under the waves. Many shells were collected and only a marginal amount of sand was brought back into the house to end up in our beds. No injuries were reported other than minor sunburns and near heart attacks when Andy showed us the finer points of running over things (curb check!).
