\"Elderberries<\/a>On a beautiful Summer morning, you need to spend some quality time with family, friends (and “church family”)… and, it’s an extra bonus\u00a0 if you can enjoy some of the great outdoors and taste\u00a0 some of God’s creation at the same time!<\/p>\n

That’s what a group of us did on Saturday 8\/1\/15.\u00a0 About 15 of us (all ages) traveled to Parvin State Park<\/a><\/span>, rented canoes or kayaks, and spent some time on the lake (yes- none of our boaters spent any time IN the lake!).\u00a0 We got a close up view of ducks, geese, and turtles as we joined them in their neck of the woods.\u00a0 Most of us also explored the streams leading into Parvin Lake.\u00a0 A few of us encountered the spiders which dangled from the low hanging branches.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, as we tried to regain our “land lubber legs” and work out the kinks, we filled up on the park’s offerings of hamburgers and hot dogs.\u00a0 Several\u00a0 of us then went in swimming.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures…<\/p>\n\n\t\t

Family Time…<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hey- we’re not a social club!\u00a0 Our purpose is much deeper than that.\u00a0 We’re trying to grow closer to God.\u00a0 Why are we spending time renting canoes???<\/p>\n

The people in the above pictures are friends that we canoed with. But, these same people are the ones we worship with, study with,\u00a0 and confide in as we share our walks together.\u00a0 Nurturing these relationships- even by paddling a boat on a lake- builds a community where we can help each other grow closer to Christ.\"Craft<\/a><\/p>\n

If you missed this outing, stay tuned for others!\u00a0 The next time you see an announcement inviting you to step into the church van, take\u00a0 advantage of the chance to get to know your church family.<\/p>\n
