What a difference a year makes

This is our care group at our year end wrap up last year.

And this is the main group from this year. We've had a few other join us in the last two weeks.
Do you notice the one constant thing?
OUR FAMILY!
It seems as though God has called our family into a different kind of ministry.
We take care of missionaries and those who visit/serve for a year (or two).
If I had the pictures available, I would share a picture from the year before, which would have Dan, Amy and Fareedah in it.
We've been at this church for a few years now, and almost every year the members of our care group change.  This year we hope for some stability. We hope that those pictured would remain. We hope that those who have visited in the last two weeks would join. We hope that others out there would be a welcomed addition. And we hope that those who return (even for just a few weeks) would feel welcomed home.
But ultimately our goal is to never have potluck for two again!
(at least we know that won't happen, since our family has grown to four!)

We love all our groups (past and present). We are excited to see what God has in store for us this year. We will see you for dinner on Mondays in September (at least that's the goal!)
