Every other year, our church regions have a mini-convention; this year our church hosted the event. It was a great weekend of teaching and seminars, renewing friendships, and sharing the joys and sorrows of working in our different churches. We are so thankful that we are part of this wonderful body of churches.
Of course, there was a bit of business to discuss as well...
..and friendships to renew.
We enjoyed having Dave and Crystal here for the weekend as our main speaker; he was our former pastor and dear friends.
Roy and Barb also joined us to present a financial seminar
And we were able to enjoy many days together with Stan and Cheryl (not only family, but our own personal pastor and wife!).
Their last evening with us, we escaped to the beach for an evening stroll.
We arrived just as the sun was setting
Cousins enjoyed time together
The evening was cool, but it was so relaxing to just be near the water at the end of a very busy weekend.
Thanks, S&C for the fun evening at the beach!
The following weekend, the women's ministry board met at our house for a marathon day of planning for our early events for the women in our church. We usually spend an entire weekend for the planning, but this year we had a difficult time trying to find a weekend that we were all free, plus a place to meet. We were thankful for the amount of work that we accomplished, and praise God for the gifted and gracious women that work so hard on this team.
