Sudanese Coffee Night

Jennifer Telfer, one of my really great friends, is doing work in Sudan. She is such an amazing and gifted person. You can keep up with her adventures here. Jen came back to the states for a few weeks for a visit. Sunday night Jen shared some Sudanese Coffee and stories with a group from church. Everyone was asked to wear a hat, which was so much fun. Everyone responded really well. Here are some pictures from the coffee night.

Mitch's Birthday Party

Saturday, one of our great friends, Mitch, had a birthday party. For his birthday we did an "Amazing Race" adventure. We raced around town, gathering clues, and completing tasks. We had so much fun. Thanks to Jess for working so hard!! Below are some pictures of the party.

This is Emma, Ruthi and Owen being entertained by the rocks.

Our mini Extreme Home Makeover

Last week was a very tiring week for many members of the Warrenton Wesleyan Church. Our church took on a renovation project for a very deserving single father of four kids. It was so awesome to see the church family come together and bless this family with their time, talent, money and compassion. By the end of the week everyone was exhausted, but it was well worth it. Click here for the complete project.

Working at the car wash

Our youth kids will be going to Arkansas in July for a week long missions trip. This past Saturday, we had a car wash to help raise money to go. This is an awesome groups of kids! We are going to have a great time in July!

Demolition Ball

A couple months ago, all the youth sponsors went out for a night of fun. Sorry I am posting this so late, but I just found these pictures. Demolition Ball is a cross between bumper cars and lacrosse. Each team tries to score a goal by hitting their backboard with the ball. Sounds easy right? Not so much, but we had an awesome time together!!! I think the majority of us left with sore and bruised bodies.
