First Congo Celebrates Valentine's Day!



Happy Valentine's Day, blog-readers!  Our congregation has been living this holiday right this year, from the annual Chop Suey Valentine Luncheon to a beautiful night of chatting and dancing to live Polka music with the residents at Prairie Place Assisted Living facility.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any good photos of the Valentine Dance, but I can assure you the moves of 6 (7 if you count little Evelyn) of our volunteer church members were off the charts!  Considering this volunteer opportunity was organized pretty last-minute, it was a great turnout.  Sometimes, "sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ" means dancing with some people who haven't had a chance to dance in a while!  

I did get some good photos, however, of the Chop Suey Valentine Luncheon!  I hope you'll enjoy them! 

Live Music from several Ripon musicians 

On the piano, our own Maria!

These ladies told me the aprons are new this year.  I think they were a perfect touch!

A fun time was had by all! 
And none of us went without dessert! 

P.S.  I apologize for the delay in this week's sermon reflection.  It will be posted tomorrow morning!
