"Split up" just for the morning

This morning Dick and I went our separate ways. He went to Grace to play bass guitar with the "youth" worship team, and I went to Rossmere Mennonite Church in Lancaster with the MCDS Worship Team. When I arrived they were having their pre-Sunday School service in the sanctuary. There was a man leading a hymn. I looked in the bulletin and saw that the song leader was Kenny Pellman. I went to Lancaster Mennonite with a Kenny Pellman, and we were in Choraleers together. I could not imagine that the guy up front was the one I knew in high school. After the service I got to talk to him, and it was he - his face still looks the same, he just has a lot less hair!! Later, as I was leaving, I said, "Man, I have some FUNNY memories of you." He said, "I think your memory is getting a little foggy." I said, "No, it's YOUR memory that's getting foggy." He was such a cut-up and always so funny, and just the thought of him being an almost bald 50-something man, standing up front leading a hymn, is just funny in itself!

The kids did a fine job again. I just love them so much.

This afternoon our church met at the Milton Grove Sportsmen's Club, where one of our men is a member. People were taking turns trap shooting, then we had a fellowship meal for supper. I forgot my camera, unfortunately. I just love being with our church family. It was especially nice since I missed being there this morning.
