Bryan

Bryan's Lots of Love banquet was quite nice. Our "worship center" is really a big gym that we move chairs into and out of as needed. We use it for all sorts of things, not just as a gym or worship center. It's called the ROC (Recreation Outreach Center). Anyway, it was decorated in a most pretty way for the banquet. Hooray to whomever thought of doing it! The dinner was very good, too--thanks to Laura Hester and her crew.

Here are John, Luci and Bryan...we sent Luci off to her class before the dinner began.
Bryan left Thursday afternoon for Winterfest in Gatlinburg. It's the furthest and longest he's been away from home without at least one parent. I'm sure he's having a ball! (But Mama is kinda concerned.) We hope he comes home with more of a sense of what his Mission is here on earth. Here he is on the bus with Josh.

Getting a last hug from Luci.

103 people were signed up for this trip! That includes at least 23 adults. Here is part of the crowd before they took off on the TWO big buses. You can see what the gym/worship center looks like normally.
