Memorial Day Gathering!

All the kids! This entry is almost a month late - sorry!
Our second annual Memorial Day Bible Study weekend was an incredible success! We had almost 70 attendees and a wonderful weekend of bible study, praise in song, and fellowship.
Most attendees were from Arkansas but we were so happy to welcome the Stull family and Brother Mark Drabenstott from Kansas City. Dan and Beth Richards also brought their three children all the way from Chicago to be with us for the weekend! Sister Hannah Fadell also joined us.
Brother Mark gave us some wonderful classes on "The Five Gospels." We also enjoyed swimming in the resort pool, a fishing contest, a delicious cookout, a marshmallow roast, some beautiful singing, and being with our family in the Truth.
Hope to see everyone next year!
