Thanks to Ben and Cheri for hosting our class party last night. We had a great time eating, visiting, and especially playing Mafia! The kids had a great time finding Easter eggs too! Scroll down the post for pictures from the party.

Sign up sheets went around for any men that would like to teach our class for one Sunday this year.

Continue to pray for James and Lessie. Lessie's doing better but their car was broken into and several things were stolen. We plan to send them care messages next week and we collected a monetary donation for their loses. We'll pass the can around next week again.

Penny is doing well and recovering at home after surgery.
