Great Sunday

We had another wonderful weekend - family time Friday night along with some fun time with friends on Saturday (it is so nice to be getting back out and hanging out with friends!!). But the highlight of our weekend was Sunday!

We took Kate to church for the first time on a Sunday (she had been for a couple of meetings with me but not on a Sunday). It was such a fun thing to do. We waited much longer with her than we did with Ben and we were planning on waiting even longer but we were just ready to get back to going to church as a family. It was fun to get her all dressed up and ready for church. She did great at church. I am not big on taking kids with you to Sunday School and church but she can't go to the nursery yet so she had to come with us (she will go to the nursery in a few weeks). She slept through SS and 1/2 of church and then I went and fed her and watched the rest of the service in the nursing mother's room. It worked out great. It was so fun to show her off. There were so many people that hadn't gotten to see her yet. All of our friends and church members that prayed for her so much when she was first born finally getting to meet her was very special. We feel very blessed to have a church family that loves us so and has prayed for us!

We all went back to church on Sunday night for a special service. Matt was ordained as a deacon in our church. I am so very proud of him. It is a big responsibility and honor to be chosen as a deacon. At first we were both not sure about it but after getting some wise counsel and praying, he accepted the position. They had a very special ordination service last night for him and another guy. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful, Godly husband!

We go to a church with 8,000 members and we worried so much about getting "lost" in such a large church but God has been so faithful. We have a LIFE group that we love where we learn and are challenged on a weekly basis. We have also both found great places to serve. We have taught preschool Sunday School in the past. I am on the Women's Ministry Committee and now Matt is serving as a deacon. We feel so very blessed to be involved in the work that God is doing at Whitesburg.

It was a great Sunday!!

Mommy and Kate ready for church!

Ben does not like having his picture made these days. I cannot get a good picture of him. This was the best one. He does like to take pictures. Here is one of mommy, daddy and Kate by Ben.
