The Taylor Tribune: Lake Weekend with Small Group

I'm still catching up. I think it's become a continual theme. I guess you'll just have to get used to it!

The last weekend of February our small group Bible study headed to Lake Gaston for the weekend. Beth and Stephan, a couple in our small group, were gracious enough to invite us. Stephan's family owns a GORGEOUS house on Lake Gaston. There was so much to do there and plenty of room for all of the families. Total we had five couples and four children. We left Friday night and rode up there with our friends Brian and Becky. Saturday consisted of eating lots of yummy food, playing, and Bible study time. We took shifts so that we could fit in some girl and guy time. The guys went outside and played disc golf for a few hours in the morning while we ladies kept the kids inside to play. After lunch all of the kids went down for a nap and the adults got some Bible study time in. Once the kids got up from their naps the guys took them outside to play while we ladies got some much needed girl time. It was so nice to actually have conversation that went beyond surface level and to really get to know each other better. We played a game called Life Stories which was kind of silly but turned out to be a really neat game. We basically had to answer questions about ourselves and then at the end we each got a chance to go around and build each other up. I think the Lord knew what we all needed that weekend. Once we had dinner and got the kids in bed we all played Mexican Train. It's a really fun dominoes game, and if you've never played it you need to! We got up Sunday morning and cleaned up the house before heading home. It was such a fun weekend and such a special time to have with our small group. Thanks for hosting us Farrell family!!
