Church Picnic

Church of the Resurrection had a picnic on "Holy Hill" yesterday. That is, we are hoping to buy land to build our own building (finally!) and so all the people who have made pledges to the building project got to come onto the land to have a picnic. The hill is called "Holy Hill" by the current land owner whose father was a man of faith.

I did everything I could to help but there's not much I can do to make her feel better. At the picnic, I got some friends to help me tell her how much she was missed:

Janet, our Family Pastor. Keith, our good friend and Alyana's dad. Tegan, another one of our former Sunday School kids.

It was a fun picnic but I missed Karisa! I spent a lot of the picnic trying to recruit for a logistical nightmare that fell into my lap Saturday afternoon. But I managed to have some fun. Here's me and Ella (though she refused to smile!):
