Graduate Weekend Report

This past weekend we had 11 graduates and one of their 3 year old all in our apartment for a graduate program. The kids arrived on Saturday afternoon and the day was packed full of activities that went late into the evening. The time was spent playing games, singing, worship, sharing and reading the Bible, and enjoying good snacks and fellowship. Sashko talked about friends and how they influence us and the importance of having good friends. He shared about how God can be your friend. This is a concept that the kids have a hard time understanding. It was a good opportunity for us to share with them our experiences and how we have seen God as our friend. The kids were asked what they thought were good qualities in a friend and made to think about their friendships.

On Sunday morning we woke up early to make it to church. We have one bathroom so it did take us a little longer than normal to get out of the house. But fortunately no fights broke out over who was gonna use the sink first. We were honestly a little surprised with how many kids went to church and even made it through the whole service. Although our apartment was packed full, it was a weekend full of love and fun. Thank you all who prayed for this weekend!
