We celebrated our beloved pastor and his wife with a dinner following the morning service—complete with loving testimonials, and even a few tears.

We continued our year-long study of Revelation, tonight covered Chapters 14–17. The snack for this evening was homemade pizza! We started out with a lot of pizza, but very little was left by the end of the night.

Our to-do list was lengthy: yard work, painting of outside doors, clearing the paintball course, oil change and maintenance for the lawn tractor, spring cleaning of the basement area in preparation for shelving, and taking items to the transfer station. But many hands made light work; much was accomplished in serving the Lord and each other.

Actually, it was more like a camp-in. Some rain and continued threatening weather kept us inside most of the night, but we had fun nonetheless. We still had traditional campout victuals and Bob Halpin brought along a Lone Ranger movie (the campout coincided with the men’s monthly western night). There were many board games to play, too. Several families stayed overnight allowing a marathon Risk session.

We enjoyed Saturday morning breakfast at the church followed by a target shooting excursion.

This morning we hosted our annual yard sale along with a church work day. Sales were good, and we enjoyed visiting with the shoppers. We even managed to get a lot of work done around Hanover on this beautiful day.
