Psalm 62:7-8
My salvation and my honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God,
are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.
~Psalm 59:17

The Franklins

Terri and Barbi Franklin blessed us on Labor Day Sunday

by doing a concert/worship time in the evening!

Mark introduced them.
And then Pastor John prayed.
And then the Franklins gave us quite a concert!

It was so enjoyable and relaxing to listen to them.

It was a truly wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening!

Frog Jumping Contest!

Labor Day Weekend's Frog Jumping Contest was huge!

I don't know exactly how many frogs were entered,

but there sure were a lot of them!

It sure was loud too with everybody yelling for their frogs!

I wonder if frogs can go deaf...

Pancake Breakfast

On the Sunday of Labor Day weekend the Refuge hosted a

pancake breakfast for the campers at Mendota Hills!
We were only planning on about 80 people, and we ended

up serving over 150!!!

Rich made some really great hash browns.

Mourey, Marge, Jill and I made pancakes.Lauren made scrambled eggs.
Jill also shredded the potatoes for the hash browns.

And my Mom made all the sausages!

My dad was the runner, (so were Wolfgang and Crystal)

And Zoe, Rachel and Irene served all the people!

The breakfast seemed to be a hit!

And of course at the end, a meeting of the minds to discuss next year!

But let those who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Protect them, so all who love your name
may be filled with joy. For you bless the godly, O Lord,
surrounding them with your shield of love.

Remember

Remember to pray for the people who are hurting today.
