I just realized it's Friday...5 days since I was supposed to post about our last meeting, oops! We met at Big Woods State Park again, that is so much fun. Something about being out in God's creation that just makes me feel good.

The Roberts, the Schiells and the Beltons (minus Justice, plus Maya's friend Avery) all met and we decided that if we want to meet and start cooking at 1 we should tell the Beltons 10, lol. They did show up eventually and we had a great time of food and fellowship.

Various things were discussed at the meeting, not the least of which was our (mine and Brian's) impending trip to Las Vegas. I surprised Brian with a trip out for UFC 100 - we are staying with family and going to all the hullabaloo, but not the fight because we can't afford tickets. We are in the process of looking for a church body to meet with while we are out there, and part of our discussion focused on this. We also talked about Revelation, Jesus' command to make disciples, the Parable of the Sower and politics...yes, we were there until about 7 pm.

Ryan felt led to suggest we celebrate the Lord's Supper together, and we had a great time of remembrance with each other. Avery was confused about what to do, being a believer but still shuffled off to children's "church" she of course had never been involved in Communion before. So we were able to teach her what it meant to remember the blood and body of Christ and celebrate that together.

Good times had by all! We will be meeting on the 4th for fireworks and church at the Belton's.
