We had a great time on Sunday, eating together and enjoying
each other’s company at the Summer Community Cookout! The kids bounced around
in a bounce-house castle (which kind of resembled a mini-Duke Memorial if you
look at it the right way), and we all played yard games, ate snow cones, and
even got our faces painted. The best
part was meeting so many new people and getting to know some of our neighbors
better. As part of our 2012 Mission Theme, “Who is My Neighbor? Listening,
Learning and Living with Our City,” this was indeed what we were hoping to get
out of our first “Celebration” – to welcome new people to our church and share
our lives with each other. Thank you to everyone who helped with the setup,
break-down, food prep, and showing generous hospitality to our guests!
