Sunday morning and family night at Trinity

This Sunday was another solo flight for me at worship, as Pastor Chris Brekke was away baptizing his granddaughter. So I was on my own at Trinity Lutheran Church in West Concord, and we had a great time. They are so hospitable; it was great to have someone there to fill me in on some of the logistical details I hadn't thought to ask Pastor Chris about ahead of time.

This week marked the occasion of my first children's sermon ever, and my first adult forum on internship. Both went okay but there is plenty of room for improvement! My parents were visiting this weekend as well, so they got to enjoy the fun folks of Trinity.

I also got to help organize and execute a fun night for the Sunday school families. We had a pretty good crowd considering it was MEA weekend and the Packers-Vikings game (not the best timing on our part). The kids played Pictionary or just colored and ran around a bit, we all enjoyed a meal together, and then we played a Veggie Tales movie on the big screen. The older kids had fun serving popcorn and playing games while the younger kids watched the movie.

All in all, it was very successful, and I'm bummed out that I forgot to take pictures again! I heard lots of comments from both kids and adults that we should do it more often. Trinity is especially good at fellowship. They have movie nights (for all ages, i.e., not Veggie Tales) once a month, they have game nights once a month, and they have all kinds of other such fun things going on. It was delightful to be so involved with this one!
