We were up and going early this morning, heading down the ninety miles to Menno Mennonite Church. Services don't start until 10 AM, but I wanted to get there early to have a chance to visit with Pastor Matt in order to plan a bit how we were going to handle the discussion about Mennonite Church USA during Sunday School.
The denomination had done a survey late last year of all the credentialed leaders in the church and are currently in process of doing a survey of the people who will be delegates at the biennial gathering this coming July. Pastor Matt had done a mini-survey with members of the Menno congregation. He shared the results of that survey and I presented the response to the same questions on the national surveys. It made for an interesting SS hour!
On our way back to Ponderosa Falls, we stopped in Ritzville at the Cow Creek sandwich shop and had lunch with Earl and Jay. Earl is nearing his 88th birthday and Jay is now retired as well, so it was a great time of visiting and exchanging family updates and information.
We listened to the Mariners on the radio on the way home. It wasn't so good, as they were behind the Rangers 7-5. By the time we got home and were watching it on TV, it had gotten to 10-6. But our boys came through and beat the Rangers 11-10 in the last of the ninth inning!
