Wednesday Nights are WILD Nights!

Beginning next Wednesday, May 14th from 6:30~7:30
We will be starting our Serengeti Trek, where kids are wild about God! Getting to KNOW God, TALKING to God, TELLING others about God, and LOVING God are just a few of the things we will be learning and celebrating.

Along with our story we will be making either a craft or snack and playing games... we will be dressing for the "theme" and would love it if the kids wanted to join in. We look forward to seeing you there!

Proud Sister #2

On September 29, 1980 my baby sister Jonna was born. I remember the day like
it was yesterday...

I woke up to hear that mom had deliver little Jonna Suzanne safely. She had lots of red hair, big blue eyes, and a kiss (birthmark) on her forehead. She would be home with mama by the time I got home from school. Guess what I shared for show-n-tell? You better believe it, I smiled and announced the baby's weight and length with pride. (You would have thought I was the new mother!) Needless to say, after school, I ran all the way home! I raced into the house, dropping my jacket and backpack, asking to hold the new baby. Deflated that I was asked to wash my hands first, I did it quickly and then made myself comfortable on the couch. With arms outstretched, I was introduced to the most beautiful creature. I held sweet baby Jonna what seemed like forever. Studying her every feature and checking to make sure she had all ten fingers and toes, I was a new mama - again.

Jonna has always made me feel like I was a good sister. She didn't mind me helping her ride a bike, getting her up in the middle of the night to go potty, and teaching her to tie her laces. She was always wanting to sleep with me in my bed or sit right next to me on the couch when there was 6 feet left on the opposite side! She was and is very inclined to laugh and find joy in almost everyone. She was more than eager to let me play "bodyguard" from our sister, Jodee. There was many times when the two younger sisters would be playing and undoubtedly something would happen - Jonna would come racing to my room screaming, "Jimi Anne!" Instantly I would open the door to find Jonna bursting in with Jodee hot on her heels! Keeping Jonna safe was my #1 priority.

Jonna is grown up and has two little girls of her own, Chloe and Katie, it makes me sigh... I pray those sweet babies know how wonderful their mama is. If they don't, I will be sure to tell them the stories of what she was like at their ages and how much they remind me of her.

I love you Jonna, you have made my life so much brighter!
