This Weekend

A picture re-cap of a very fun and very busy weekend.....

Friday night 9A had it's first party in over a year and it was quite the little shindig.  

we took lots of apt pictures before it all began, but i'll show those at a later date! 

The Roommates.  

The party was a little housewarming for our new roommate Jeanne (who moved in when LA got married) 

(L-R) Bethany, Jeanne, Perryn, Hannah

When you have 4 roommates with 4 different groups friends you have A LOT of people when you host a party.  I didn't snap any pictures, except for this one.

This is a mixture of my old community group with a few of our new girls mixed in.  so thankful for these girls! 

After staying up waaay to late on Friday night, I arose early on Saturday to attend a Redeemer West Side Leaders Ministry Summit.  It was a great day of teaching from one of our Redeemer Counselors as she took us through a mini version of the seminar on "How People Change" (check out my book list to see this book) Although I'm been in a group discussion of this book before, I learned so much yesterday.  It was a good day of teaching and equipping for our Redeemer leaders

After a long day of teaching a group of friends went downtown to the LES (lower east side) for some Thai food and dancing to celebrate Misty's Birthday!! 

We had a sweet celebration of Misty at dinner as we all went around and shared our favorite memory/character trait about her. Afterwards she then went around and shared about us.  It was a really sweet time as friends! 

 

Unfortunately I had a really bad headache and missed out on the dancing part, but was thankful to at least be there for the first part of the celebration.  

 

I never think to take pictures on Sundays, but thanks to one of my friends/volunteers, Daniela  I snagged this cute picture of some of our pre-school kids during their "wonder worship" today.  Sundays are by far the craziest/longest day of my work week.  I can so often get caught up in running around making sure everything is running smooth and all the other many parts of my job on Sundays that I miss out on these sweet worship moments.  So thankful to have a job where I get to impact the next generation of native New Yorkers!  

Whew what a weekend!!!:-)
