Our scripture for the evening was 1 Thessalonians.

Tonight we gathered at the home of Brandon and Lorri Foster for a meatless fellowship dinner. We had a small crowd, but we enjoyed great fellowship, a wonderful dinner, and a unique tortilla dessert courtesy of Lorri and Paula Dean.

Following the morning service we had a picnic on the church grounds, with games in the afternoon. Weather didn’t look very promising in the morning, but by lunchtime, the sun was shining. We had grilled hamburgs and hotdogs, with all the good stuff you want on a picnic. The Lord blessed us with a wonderful day. Several families visited, and kids of all ages had a wonderful time playing kickball, hitting pitches, swinging, and playing manhunt.

Here are some photos of this fun day

Friday the sixth and the Saturday following were pretty amazing to say the least. After setting up camp, most of those present hovered around the fire pit to roast (more like burn) marshmallows and hot dogs. Hot dogs are great burnt, but definitely not marshmallows…just saying. Pastor Crookshank also shared a devotional with us allowing interaction from parents and children. While the adults chatted near the warmth of the campfire, the children played manhunt and various other games in the church fields and woods.

The next morning, most people got up bright and early. Mr. Snell, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Foster made a tasty breakfast for us. Having then packed up all of our tents and gear, we headed over to the Pizana’s house for an afternoon of shooting.
