Today we picked up Son Sean and drove down to Menno for a special day of celebration for Marge and Al who are celebrating both their 65th wedding anniversary and Al's 90th birthday. Their son Bill was Worship Leader and their daughter Sally preached the sermon. Sally is a Methodist Biship from the Chicago area. She gave a thoughtful homily about growing up on a farm and related it to an agrarian Bible. Daughter-in-law Sharla did the Children's story - it definitely was a family affair!
The church was packed with people there from three states. To our surprise, four of Forry's high school classmates were there. He had a chance to visit with Marva, Dena, and Gary and Ronna.
For the second week in a row, Di's Catering provided a wonderful meal. There was ham, fresh fruit, salads and large shrimp. I think Sean had at least three helpings! As it was cooler today, the fellows put sides on the windward sides of the tent that they had left up after Michelle's wedding last week. I think Diane said they fed over 150 people!
Once again, we didn't stay for the program and the cake - Forry was getting pretty tired as he did the driving today. It was a lovely celebration!
