Final Farewell

Sunday was a bittersweet day as we said goodbye to not only our Pastor and his wife as they are retiring, but also to our church. With Pastor retiring, we decided the best thing to do was dissolve the church. We had only been averaging 20-25 people (including 7 kids and teens), so there wasn't enough people to be able to go on.





Once the weather warmed up a little, there was always many box elder bugs in the entry












 The boys and Emily liked to pick them up and put them outside










Emily wasn't involved this time around, but I wanted to capture the ritual on "film"












For our final service, several families that had attended in the past came as well as friends













There were 50 people in attendance











It was also Mrs. Whittenburg's birthday, so we sang Happy Birthday to her











gifts of appreciation



































FOOD :)


























  And of course the fellowship
