It's been too long since I last updated this site, but now I'll try to catch up a bit. These are some of the recent events that we have been busy with: first off, the wedding of a young couple from our church. We have enjoyed watching their love grow in the few years that we have been here and it was certainly a joy to be involved in their wedding.

The decor was simple and elegant

The couple had a sand ceremony instead of a unity candle. It was very meaningful.

Just in time for the wedding, our church installed new carpeting. The sanctuary looks so nice now and we are all happy with the results.
Also last weekend, I helped to plan a baby shower for my friend B who recently joined her husband here in the States. She and her lovely daughters attended our church until they moved further east. Having her around gives us yet another touch of Africa...
Our women's ministry recently hosted a fun event called "Faith, Fondue, and Flipflops." The evening was a balmy 82, the fondue was delicious, the flipflops that the girls wore were cute, and the lessons of faith were very interesting.
Our leader, Sharon, gave several examples from Scripture of people who would have "flopped" in their faith, if they had not "flipped" for Christ. Even though we were not as large a crowd as we had hoped, we had a wonderful time together!
