Church Picnic with a Twist

This year our church decided to try something different for the annual church picnic, making it into an event for the whole neighborhood. Food stands, live music, a flea market, Olympic games, face painting, and a jumpy gym for the kids, all made for a lively atmosphere and a great place to invite friends and people from the community. I invited all the ladies from my Integration course, and was super pleased when two showed up with their daughters. Ralf's sister Silke and her finance Rudiger were here to visit for the weekend and we enjoyed spending the day with them and other friends from our church. God blessed us with great weather for the event - it was one of the few times we've seen the sun this summer - and we were very grateful for it!
