This past year (speaking in school year terms) Ben and I were blessed to be leaders, along with Josh Robertson, of a wonderful church small group. They are our extended family here in Evanston. With no family near by I don't know how we would survive without these friendships. People helping with meals when the girls were born, then babysitting after so we can have date nights. People who have given us their time and energy when we moved and had to fix up our house. People who cry with us when we're sad, laugh with us when we're happy and pray with us weekly. Not to mention just putting up with our earthly mess and still loving us in the end.

| Our Small group (With a few people missing) |
Our group is full of wonderful people who have fantastic ideas one of which was to go on a weekend retreat! Oh the fun! We Prayed, Talked, Eat and Played together for a 3 day weekend. What better way to build community than to live together for a while. We enjoyed kayaking, boating, skiing, volleyball, and dodge ball during the day. A bonfire and good conversations in the evenings.
