Sunday and Christmas Child Shoe Boxes

Today we dismissed regular church and had a video showing the latest deliveries of the shoe boxes to Equador. I took some photos of our group and their 57 boxes all ready to go.

This is Johnna and her granddaughter, Brinlee. Brinlee is 5 years old and such a sweet child.

This is the tables all loaded down with toys and items to include in the boxes.

We ate brunch at 10:00 and then afterward had a short worship service. Then we went into the all purpose room and filled the boxes. Johnna will take them to Independence sometime next week to leave them at the First Baptist Church there to be picked up.

Here at group of us were eating brunch. Bob's back is to the camera but you can see Johnna and Brinlee.

This is Bobby getting some food after he and Karan arrived. The rest of the group had already arrived and they came an hour later after Bobby had attended his own church first. He is a Methodist.

This is the table before we got it completely loaded. We ended up with 57. Then we took the first group photo.

Tonight we are going to Marilyn's home for our Living the Questions group meeting.  If I remember, I will take some more photos of that group.

More later....

Sure enough! I forgot to take photos at Living the Questions. We had a really good time there at Marilyn's house. She is such a gracious hostess. We had a good visit too.  She sent pie home with anyone who would take some. It was really good but I did not take any. Bob did and Bobby did too. Ramie, Mona and Richard's 15 year old, did too. He is such a nice boy. He has grown to 5' 10" tall. When we first met them and they began attending our classes, he was 5. We had met for several years before they joined the group.

I got home about 9:00 and took my bath and got ready for bed.  I am really tired this evening.
