weekly download

This week was full and busy, but a good one nonetheless….

  • My birthday came and went (and as for my age, suffice it to say that I am now older).
  • We had our first Outreach Family Night. During the year, we have Family Night every two weeks with our staff and interns. A night to just kick back and hang out together in a non-ministry setting. During June, July, and August when we have Outreach Staff with us (summer interns), we change things up a bit. We now have Family Night each week, and it’s a time for worship and ministry in addition to fellowship. This week’s was great, and it’s got me looking forward to them more than I thought I’d be…
  • Today it was close to 70 degrees outside. Such a stark difference from just days ago when we had the biggest snowfall we’ve had in years. We had some serious snow! It was freezing, but it was beautiful. Pristine. God’s handiwork. Couple that, though, with the fact that we have no indoor heating… Yeah, makes things a bit interesting!
