Surprise Surprise Surprise!!

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. So I decided we should have a meal after church for Lee. I asked the woman suggestions on when or if they had any other ideas. They said that sounded great. Then Becky said can we do it next week because Me and Steve will be gone after that (they leave for the winter). So thats how we got our date it was settled October 9th it was.  We needed to let him know we were having a meal so he wouldnt think anything was up when he saw us carrying in food. So we told him We were having a dinner for Becky and Steves last sunday. Everything worked out perfect. He was very surprised and We had a very emotional service. Many people spoke and of course I think We all Cried. The children were already planning on singing So some of the pictures were of that.  We are so lucky to have Lee and Joy and there kids here with us. They do so much and it felt great to in just a small way give a little back. All in all the day it  was a GREAT success Everyone left full and happy. Keeping a secret and planning a event in a short amount of time is and was very stressful but it was so worth it. I will definitely do it again :)
