The Church has Left the Building

Yesterday we had the priviledge of participating in the church-wide "Taking it to the Street" community service day.  Each small group was able to chose a service project to do sometime yesterday.  The services were abbrevated so that we could get out into the community and get busy.

Our group chose to take breakfast to the Ronald McDonald House.  I don't know that any of us really had an idea of what it would really be like, but I think it far exceeded all of our expectations!  We all left wanting to come back and help at RMH!





Working hard...or hardly working!



The sweet boys ready to help serve.


We were able to get a tour of the facility and there are 2 McSuites - I love it! (I pretty much still call chicken nuggets Mcnuggets - ha.)

Look, there we are!


The spread - delish!


Thank you, Ronald McDonald House, for letting us bring breakfast yesterday.  I hope you were blessed as much as we were!

St. Patty's Day

I love how our dinners have a theme and this week did not let us down - we celebrated St. Patrick's Day.  We had a wonderful spread of the most tender pork tenderloin, a super yummy potato casserole, green bean salad (to go with the "green" theme) and mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.


We are still working our way through our L.O.V.E. book.  This week we talked a little more about what exactly each of us are.  There are 2 main questions that were asked - 1) Are you project or people oriented and 2) Are you fast paced or slow paced?

Once you answer these basic questions you can catch a glimpse of your personality style.  Can't wait to hear about the rest of the group and finish reading the book!

L.O.V.E.

We are taking a break from the sermon series and doing our own independent study - "L.O.V.E. - Putting Your Lovestyles to Work for You" by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott.



Tonight we went over the first chapter and it was a good introduction to what is to come!  Brad and I took the online assessment test and found out that what we thought our lovestyle was and is different from what the assessment test said we were (I hope that makes sense).  I thought that was really interesting and I can't wait to dig deeper!
