Sweet Christian Fellowship

Yesterday was another Sunday of driving down to Providence Church in Peoria. It may sound crazy to drive 2 hours each way to attend a worship service. Especially with gas prices these days!

After the worship service, fellowship meal, and a rousing game of catechism baseball, we headed over to the Evans' home, along with the Sanford's, to continue fellowshipping. The adults sat around talking about the sermon, economics, and life, while the 26 children/young adults played Bluff, Refugees, football and capture the flag. We ate pizza, fruit, salad, and ice cream. Then some of the boys and men went out to shoot some rifles and other guns. I wish I had some pictures to show all the fun we had. There were a few casualties though. Daniel cut his head when the scope of one of the guns hit his glasses. That's going to look great on his passport picture (he had to have that taken today for work.) Mathias tripped and hurt his foot. He still can't walk well on it today, but there is no swelling or obvious points of pain. So we are just carrying him around.

Unfortunately, we eventually had to go home. So around 8:15 we left, which meant we arrived home around 10:40. It's times like this that I am thankful that we home school. If we didn't, we wouldn't have been able to visit as late as we did. The fellowship is also making us look forward to the day when we will be living closer and can enjoy more of the sweet fellowship.
