Object Lesson

This past Sunday Drena did an object lesson for

all us Refugees!

It was really cool!

She likened us to jars of water.

And then she dropped food coloring into them

to signify our sins.

The more wrong things we did, the more food coloring we got dropped in our jar. So instead of our water being pure and clean, it was ugly, brownish purple...

But when Jesus comes into our lives, he can take it ALL away!

But its up to us to ask him to.

What are you going to do?

Refuge Fieldtrip!

This past Sunday most of the Refugee's went on a fieldtrip (sorta).

We went to the Amboy Nursing Home.

We are going to be doing a church service every 4th Sunday!

How many people can you fit around a piano???

This was the first service so we were all a little nervous...

Well nervous isn't really the right word, pretty much we were

just being shy :) I don't really know why, we just were.

Had Dawn been holding all of us we would've been fine,

but she wasn't , so it was kind of a quiet service :)

The people really seemed to enjoy it (they especially

enjoyed Isaac and Kaleb).

We all put on big smiles as we were going in the doors,

and you know what? We had a great time!

Even Joschi got to go!

He did great too.

My dog would've freaked out and planted her caboose in a corner...

Its amazing how something that seems so small to us

could bless anyone. But we had people laughing, crying and smiling.

Sometimes its easy to think that we're making a difference only when

we do something big and noticeable, but really, its the small things

that matter. If our going and singing/praying with people at a little Nursing Home

made somebody happy, it was WAY worth it!

So, challange time!

Do something nice for someone that you

wouldn't normally think about.

It could just make their day...

Happy Birthday Christian!

Favorite Bible Verse: John 3:16

One of the craziest things you have ever done: One Sunday at church

some of us tried licking and putting the silver part of a gum wrapper on
