This past weekend we had lots of fun with friends and family from Highland Avenue! Let me break it down for ya.
On Friday evening we had a potluck dinner and movie night at the Lehman's house. In Sunday School we have been watching a series on Islam and discussing Muslim/ Christian relations. So, we watched the movie "Arranged," which was about an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman, who became friends during their first year of teaching. They bonded over the fact that both of them were in the process of meeting spouses for their arranged marriages. It was a really good movie, and I highly recommend it!
Saturday was nice and relaxing. We walked around the local mall, ate lots of chocolate, watched Pitch Perfect, and Jessie finally returned home from orientation!
On Sunday, for the Offertory at church, Ben, Kristen, Don Knieriem, and I did special music. Kristen played piano (Hannah turned pages!), Don played guitar, Ben sang, and I danced to the hymn "Be Thou My Vision." After church we had an open house! It was great to be able to have people from the offices and church over, especially people who had never been here before. Kristen's parents were here visiting for the weekend, and they kindly provided the snacks. We (okay mostly Ben) gave many tours of the house. On Sunday night, I watched "Mean Girls" at the church with the Spirited Sisters group. It was fun to watch the movie with people who had never seen it before. Lots of laughter and the popcorn was yummy!
