Sunday Meetings

Sunday morning we enjoyed a full house of like minded people coming together for worship. This week we read in Revelation and the fathers all gave insightful comments. 
The afternoon was composed of various forms of fellowship including music playing and conversation.

Throughout the weekend we enjoyed times of music and worship.

Look at those handsome blue eyes!

As seen in previous posts we have been raising chickens. The week before the barn raising we had received a new batch of chicks and had to bring them along with us. The Morton family was very kind in letting us fill up their back room with tubs full of chicks. As seen above with Paulie, the little kids enjoyed looking at them.
