25th Churchiversary!

Our church is 25 years old! The first weekend of October, we all gathered to celebrate!
To kick off the weekend, on Friday night, we had another installment of our running dc2 (that's dessert, coffee, and conversation) series. This time, Dave Coffin spoke.
The dessert options all looked delicious...
But Rock was there to see Becky! And yes, Rock and Louisa were THE ONLY CHILDREN at this event. As we were pulling up to the church, it dawned on us that perhaps this was an adults only event. Oh well. Too late to get a babysitter at that point!
The next morning, Rock found Becky again...
This time in the Moon Bounce.
Louisa wisely stayed outside!
After holding Lou, Tom joined the Bocce ball fun.
There was also volleyball for those who were into sweating (not me!).
While Louisa seemed rather perplexed that she was being held by her grandfather Rocket (of all people!)...
Rock was LOVING the chance to see Clip again...
And I was loving watching them interact! Funny boys.
Then everyone lined up...
And even more people watched...
As the kids all tried to knock Paul Evans into the water!
After Bill (one of the founding members of the church) tried to torture her with a praying mantis...
I got a picture with the famous Beck Merson! We've been friends since 4th grade (or earlier?) and she ROCKS! I was so excited to meet her son Grant that I forgot to take his picture. You'll have to trust me when I say that he is rad.Saturday night we gathered again to share a meal and reflect on God's goodness to our congregation over the past 25 years.
Someone wanted a little less talking and a little more eating.
So I let him take some pictures. See Stefon in the background? We were glad he joined us for the evening!
I love the term Churchiversary! Whatta fun weekend!
Fun and exhausting.

That's a pretty 'rad' tatoo you've got there!
