Sunday was our 92nd monthiversary...and our first one in Grabill!
We got up and did our monthly picture before church, just in case it rained on my hair. (And Ryan's.) We thought it would be fitting to do the photo in the room we haven't started unpacking yet, to catch a glimpse of boxes all around. :)
We visited a new-to-us church that morning. We'd watched a few of their online services during quarantine, so we had a bit of a foundation in their staff and service style. They were set up in the gym, with chairs placed a distance apart. We learned that being the newbie in a church during mask season is an interesting additional obstacle. Major props to the staff member who figured out she didn't know us even though she couldn't totally see us! She was very kind to spend time with us and explain the services and ministries of the church!
We enjoyed the service and the communion at the end! (Cutest little communion package I've seen!)
When we got back to WillowBridge, Ryan grilled some chicken for us, and we ate out in the community room with one of our tenants. She wanted to play SkipBo, which I've never played, she she taught me and we spent some time playing!
Though it had been a cool and rainy morning, the day ended on a beautiful note, so we went for a walk on one of the paths we really enjoy. Some of the flowers have started to wilt a bit, but I still think they are pretty!
It wasn't lost to me that it was right around this same weekend during our first year of marriage that God first put on our hearts the idea of working together in ministry. We had no idea what it would look like, when He would bring it to pass, or what it would mean, but we said yes. And this year we are living in the middle of the answer - or at least the start of the answer! The best monthiversary gift!

Sounds like a perfect day! SkipBo is so fun!
SkipBo is one of our favourite family games. We all enjoy it! I love your flower pictures. And I hadn't thought of how hard it would be to be new at church during Covid. Ugh.
We are members of the Archbold Evangelical Church (part of the FEC Conference--Fellowship of Evangelical Churches, based in Ft. Wayne). The Crossview Church in Grabill, 12532 Grabill Rd., is a sister church in this conference and we think you'd love it. Check it out at cvgrabill.org! (Fun fact: Bekah, you visited our church in Archbold as a WBCL rep. when we sponsored and hosted Christian concerts with Lincoln Brewster, Matt Redmond, David Crowder and more, where I served as secretary for over 34 years.)
Maybe I should play SkipBo. Many blessings.
Tamar - And tonight it was Uno!
Natasha - I hadn't thought about it either until the time came!
Kelin - That is where we are going to visit this week!! :) We are excited! And I miss all the concerts! Those were so f un!
R's Rue - SkipBo was fun! Although it isn't a short game - this we learned! I still lost, but I lost at length - lol!
