GRACE MEMORIAL DAY COOKOUT

The Memorial Day Cookout that was scheduled to take place at the shelter behind the Church on Sunday was moved into the gym due to rain. Which I think was a good thing. Everyone had a great time. The food was excellent and the fellowship was great in the gym because of the closeness it creates by keeping us all together. Its like the Lord had all of us in his arms at one time giving us a big hug. It also made the Pastor's thoughtful project of writing letters to soldiers easier as we waited for the food to be prepared The written letters were collected and separated for mailing. The shelter is nice too- the outdoors can be beautiful, but I think the setup and cleanup time is less in the gym. You can make all your plans in advance with no concerns about last minute changes due to the weather. I think more people will come and more will stay longer just because there is no worry about rain, heat, bugs or having to walk very far.

The gym gets my vote everytime!

CLASS NOTE: There were so many buns and chips supplied by our class, that Bruce and David both had enough for projects this week and some of VBS. They were afraid some would spoil before they all could be eaten. There was approximately 8-10 bags of chips left and 3-4 very large pallets of buns. Thanks to Tim Thompson for doing such a great job with the money we collected.
