We are the Friesen's: Community Life Group Activity....

Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28

May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33

God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

Community Life Group Activity....

Last night (Saturday), our small group, or Community Life Group, had a group/family activity. We first met at "Skoops Diner" in Hesston for some good ol' fashioned burger and fries (Sarah H. and I both had ice cream as well -- yep, it was tasty).

Here's a picture of our group. Unfortunately, Tim, Johannah, and Tucker were unable to join us. We had everybody else, though -- Marc, Luke, and myself; Mark and Lisa; Adam, Kelly, and Naomi; Seth, Sarah, Collin, and Natalie.

Collin does a great job of entertaining himself. Here he is, in Skoops, playing around a table and bench. I couldn't resist taking this photo. It was too funny to watch!

Sadly, those are all of the photos I took. After Skoops, we all went to Gaeddert's Corn Maze near Buhler. I carried Luke in a "Snugli" for the first time (I was too focused on that to capture good photos of the corn maze, I guess). Collin proudly carried a flashlight to help find our way around it.

We ended up dividing into two different teams (Friesen/Hershberger vs. Siebert/Boyd). The idea was to find all of the "points" within the maze and get back out first. The Siebert/Boyd team won by around five minutes or so.

Perhaps next year...we'll do it again for a second challenge and a new maze.
