Church Get Together

This weekend saw us having a bye for netball and football so was a great opportunity for us to all get together as a church family.


There are a few families in our church that a doing it pretty tough at the moment, so we thought it would be a good idea to just spend time in fellowship and friendship. It was a lovely relaxed night out, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food (which was cooked by Kym, a camp oven which is his specialty!) and just spending time together.


We had two camp ovens. One full of chicken (those are Kym's hands trying to squeeze in one more!), and one with lamb and beef. The meat was cooked to perfection and everyone was full of praise for Kym's efforts. I was just full of praise that Kym was at a church event!

Kym, Scott and I went down to the church early as the meat had to be put on to cook at around 3pm. We sat around the fire and enjoyed a cuppa and Kym and Scott took the opportunity to have a kick of the footy. I love this shot of Scott. He has just kicked the ball. He's taken his shoes off (and run around in the dirt in white socks!!!) because he can kick further that way. Of course. Silly me. Why didn't I think of that.


Here is everyone toasting marshmallows over the fire. I just love a toasted marshmallow! I love to burn it, then eat off the burnt layer and toast it again until it's all gone!

Here are the "second tier" group of teenagers. The older group (Stephanie's age) weren't there as they are all off on a youth camp for the first week of the school holidays.

And here we have a few of us sitting around the campfire, tummies full and enjoying some great company!
Thankyou Lord for events such as this where Kym is happy to be involved in a church function. I pray that being surrounded by wonderful encouraging people like this will help soften his heart toward you and allow him to let you in.

Yes it was a great night out. Something we should do more often!

I've got an idea - let's do another one for a "welcome home" when we get back. ROFLOL. Oh, will we be back before the fire bans begin? I'm totally jealous that I wasn't there!!! I LOVED his camp oven food last time he did this...many years ago now. Think it's about the only time I've ever had a camp oven roast I think.

Jodi, you're on!

You know what was really funny...Kym said to me on Saturday morning "you're all just doing this to get me to church!"

I told him he was being paranoid...but what I SHOULD have said "how lucky are you that you have a whole congregation who love you enough to want you to know Jesus?" Now that would have been a really cool thing to say....
