Monday Morning Wrap Up (through the eyes of the Pastors Wife)!

And you thought last weekend was busy? Not sure where to even start! LOL

Maybe with dinner Wednesday night at WABC. I had been craving spaghetti and meatballs for weeks...finally broke down and fixed it for our bible study.

Friday night I went out with my girlfriends for a girls night out. Its been like forever since I had a chance to hang out with some IRL girlfriends. We had a ball, and are trying to figure out a way to do this at least once a month!

Saturday morning Marc and I picked up the food for our Marriage Ministry dinner, and then later that day Nicki and I went back to set up decorations! We watched the Homegoing Service for Whitney while we set up. It was still going when I got home and if you follow me on twitter you got a play by play of sorts. It was amazing to see so many tweets from so many places and realize that for a time the world stopped to hear a message about Christ!

The message all evening was about LOVE! And boy did our folks Love on each other! Some photos were too juicy to post. LOL

A few of the couples from our first ever Marriage Ministry dinner! We had 21 couples total and from all accounts they had a great time.

Each couple left that evening with a bag of sweet treats. I used several printables from Catch My Party .

Marc and I acted as host and hostess that evening. In addition to the photo session we played the Newlywed Game, Valentine Bingo and Pass the Heart (sort of a take-off on hot potato). I have to say that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we heard from one couple who invited 20 friends that they received calls that night and the next day from them saying they really enjoyed themselves.

Sunday morning started the celebration of our Black History program. Our Men's choir decided to show off! I know I snapped about a bazillion photos of them! It was nice seeing the congregation enjoy themselves soo much and once again I was reminded of why I love serving at WABC. Seeing so many people from so many generations under one roof praising God together is a beautiful thing.

The afternoon service featured a speaker who was originally from Barbados. Followed by a "Soul Food" dinner with dishes representing the Caribbean, Barbados, New Orleans, North Carolina, Italy, and the Mediterranean!

This post started out originally as a Sunday Night Mind Dump but I actually fell asleep while typing! Finally I gave up and just went to bed! This coming Friday we have a Girls Nite In event scheduled and then next month I have a wedding and a Baby Shower! I have come to expect that my party planning skills can be used anywhere and that I might as well accept that my life is just a series of events. Oh and good food! LOL Who can complain about that?
