Sunday School Volunteer picnic

Cassie did a great job blessing us all with a Sunday School volunteer picnic.  Her prayer at the beginning was beautiful.  She is one of the nicest people I know.  She’s young and does an amazing job with the kids and all of us.

I sat by Kris.  She is one of the nicest friends and is always willing to trade when someone needs to 

Our first selfie with Liz.  Paul photo bombed us so we had to take a 

Liz, me and Bill

Me and friend Debbie...She and her husband are our Area Reps.  We all got to Liz’s retirement party at Bayshore at the same time so hung out together.

This is the picture Bill showed us he took when he actually took the one above.  He’s so silly.

We stopped at the Lamplighter in Sebewaing since they didn’t have any food at the party.  Debbie and Paul met us there.  Debbie and I both got a flatbread club sandwich.  It was so big.  We each took half home.

We both drove separate.  Bill left about 10 minutes before me because he had to pray with Pastor and the Elders before the first service.  I got there and went to my classroom and made sure everything was ready.  Worship was awesome this morning.  Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac sat next to us.  I went back after worship and taught Sunday School.  I had eleven kids.  It was a fun lesson on how much Jesus loves us.  The kids were all so good and so much fun.  After church I went and prayed with our prayer group.  It was an awesome time of prayer.   After that we went into the second service.  We sat up front by Merijo and Greg.  

It was another great message on faith.  

After church, Bill went to get gas.  I went to the Volunteer picnic.  We had hotdogs, potato salad, fruit, veggies and desserts.  I didn’t each much because I thought they were going to have food at the retirement party I was going to.  I didn’t eat any dessert.  They had us introduce ourselves and say what grades we taught.  Then Cassie drew names for gift cards.  I won a $10 Amazon gift card.  I sat by Maryjane, Rachael, Mikayla and Mrs.  We all had fun visiting.  I left so I could meet Bill at 1 and leave to go to BayShore.  He hadn’t been able to find a retirement card, so we stopped in Sebewaing at the Dollar store and found a beautiful Christian Retirement card for Liz.  I filled it out and put money in it in BayShore’s parking lot, then we went into the party.  We were surprised that there were only small bags of chips and mini red licorice packs.  We expected at least to have cake lol.  Good thing Bill had picked up a candy bar at the Dollar Store to eat.  He hadn’t had anything for breakfast or lunch.  We went to the Lamplighter Restaurant and Paul and Debbie joined us.

On our way home, we stopped and saw Roy and Marie.  We always go by their house on our way to BayShore, but usually have the big camper and can’t stop.  We had a really nice visit. 

Roy came out and looked at the Jeep when we were leaving.  He really liked it and said it was the nicest one he’s seen.  He’s so sweet.  

After I got my car and got home, I packed up some potato salad and dropped it off at Melissa’s.  She only wanted a little because they are going camping tomorrow.  I took Hailey a couple of avocados and also some cilantro she forgot here.  Evan met me in the driveway to come get the stuff and take it in.                                                                                                                                                   

I filled bird feeders.  It was sure cool and windy outside.  I came inside and read my Bible and prayer books.  Bill had read his when I was gone.
