75th Anniversary

Today was our church's - Parkview - 75th anniversary. It was a big weekend with a barbaque on Saturday night with activities for the family.

The LaPointe's went with us expecting not to know a soul since they moved back into the state less than 3 wks ago. But like any Iowan, they found lots of people they knew. Nick's old choir director, friend from HS and another music friend. We always say that if you have a connection to Iowa, we can find a common friend/accaintance. Allie did dress the boys in conflicting clothing. Poor Mboy had to wear the losing Hawkeye colors while Gman had the Cyclones on. They are a household divided!

It was fun to walk by the college students that are now dreading walking into our Cyclone house on Tuesday. Last week they had no doubt they would win the game! One guy asked if they really had group at our house - he isn't sure about coming back!

On Sunday church was great and about how the church is missional. The church has always been and will always be about spreading God's word - to the Iowa City area, the University campus and to the world. This weekend was about celebrating HIM.

Now for the humorus side note: Church was packed and we ended up scooting next to an older woman (probably in her 50s - don't yell at me - she wasn't a college age girl!). Jason (and me too) usually enjoy a seat in between us for comfort, but that wasn't an option today. Well I guess during the service the lady laid her head on Jason's shoulder twice. Now once I can understand - falling asleep, but twice hummmmm. Jason was very uncomfortable - I never noticed, but he was quite swirmy towards the end! (Good blog material - I thought when he told me!)

Luke and Betsy some college students came over for lunch and for some baseball. Luke went away happy since his stinkin' Cubs won again. At least we didn't have to watch the Cub announcers!
