Block party 242, what is the 242 you ask? 242 stands for Acts 2:42, which says:
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

So, once a year we have a giant, free friend day to celebrate with everyone. In fact it’s how we found the church 4 years ago. We came for the 11:35 service and they said, we’re not having a late service today, but come on out and enjoy the free food and fellowship. So, we did and we do!

Friend day this year was called block party. We had a drama based on a block party theme. I didn’t see it as I was holed up with 21 two yr olds, but I heard it was good. After service we took the kids outside to play on the bouncy things, pony rides and train.


That spot on Hannah’s nose is from her crash down the stairs. She was wearing Bethany’s boots and walking down the stairs, not a good combination. She made it to the last 3 steps and then tripped and fell right on her nose.

We listened to some music, saw some friends and ate hot dogs to our hearts content. We had so much fun we went home and napped (well two of us did anyway.) We thought we’d get out for dessert after dinner, but the ice cream fairy was against us. McDonald’s had no ice cream; so no shake, no mcflurry and no sundaes. So, we ate pies and went home. I also bought some of those coupons they have right now (12 for a $1.) Get them now, because they don’t start until Nov. 1, but they run out way before the end of the month (I know that from last year.) From Nov-Dec we’re going to be rich in free cones, drinks, apple dippers, fries, cookies and pies.

The mountains got a smattering of snow last night, here’s the view from the church parking lot.
