keljonma's Front Porch - Settling in and adjusting

[Quail_Antwerp]

I wish we were closer to you, QA & Becca.

That can still be arranged! I can shuffle kids around and make room for you and DH and Titan!

Trust me, plenty of work here we can put you to!

 

[keljonma]

You are a dear friend, QA. I would like to keep that friendship. Don't be moving those kids about on my account just yet!

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

Why wouldn't you keep this friendship? :/ Was it something I said???

Or you think I'll be put off if you live to close?

Just kidding!!

Got the church newsletter today for October.

Here are some of the upcoming adult classes being offered by Small Ministries. There are a number of good ones listed....decisions, decisions...

September-October-November-December
The ALPHA Course - 11 sessions
Dinner, a movie, and discussion
Celebration Banquet September 28; Classes start October 5
Each week of this course, you'll enjoy dinner, watch an engaging video with Nicky Gumbel, one of the pioneers of the Alpha phenomenon, and get to know people in a relaxed atmosphere. You'll have a chance to talk about who God is, who Jesus is, who the Holy Spirit is, and what God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have done and currently do for us and how does all this affect us.

Most of us have questions about life and why we are here. Alpha will help us find some answers. This is a great opportunity to invite family, friends, and neighbors that we might know are looking for some answers to life's questions to come join us for dinner and a movie, and hopefully find some answers.

How loveable they are. That is quite a blessing, ya know. To have kids that look at life as an adventure.
