Potluck

Tonight is our fall potluck that we have before the congragational meeting. It should be fun we are having a person from the Pregnancy Councelling Centre coming in to talk to us about all they do to help mothers and babies. I am just waiting for the potatoes to finish cooking so I can finish the shepards pie I am making. It smells so good I can't wait to dig into it!

We carved "reformation day" pumpkins last wednesday. We had been waiting for all of us to be together to do it but our schedules never allow us to be together at the same time so just Amanda and I carved the pumpkins. I did a lovely little bird and Amanda did some feathers around her pumpkin. Both turned out very well but I can't show you the pictures because it is taking to long to download them onto the computer. Michelle has drawn out her picture but she just has to carve it. She is doing Martin Luther's house :-P

On Sunday I got a surprise. I learned that the Christmas concert for the children is going to be on Dec. the 5th. We hadn't even started the planning and now we have to get the children to memorize the songs in under 3 weeks. Yikes. So we took out a video of the first ever Christmas concert and watched it to get ideas and I must say we are soooo cute. It takes place in 1994 and Shauna is the youngest person there and she is 2. All she does is stand there and look super cute (for once in her life). She is like 10 steps behind every one in the actions and little Jermeny Vankampen kept giving her the dirtiest looks. It was really cool to see all the people in our youth group look so cute and what our parents looked like from back then. We really wanted to show clips of the video for the people to see everyone 15 years ago but I don't think we would be able too. I think that we are going to video tape ours and put it in the church library so that when these kids grow up they can see how cute they are.

Anyway so I have a lot of typing and photocopying to do and I have to get a hold of a lot of people about the Christmas concert so I better get going. Hopefully I can pull this off! TTYA later!!
