I was late getting there because I had to pick up a cake for the reception afterwards. Even though there were lots of people working there, and the cake was right in front of me behind the counter, I had to wait 20 minutes for someone to hand it to me. But it was a beautiful cake.
After Pastor Justin's message there was a second message by one of our former pastors, Rev. Plows.
I didn't get to hear most of it because Karen and I were with the caterer getting things set up for the luncheon. But I was able to go upstairs to see the laying on of hands from the other Bible Fellowship pastors in attendance to Pastor Justin.
There was so much food. Too much! We ordered for 50 people, but it could have fed 100. We had vegetable lasagna, Italian chicken, roast pork, meatballs, green beans, and roasted potatoes. Everyone raved about it. It was so good. If I don't come away from this weekend weighing a ton, it won't be for not trying. All I've done for the last four days is eat!

They made a big ceremony out of cutting the cake. Pastor Justin and Cherie were acting like it was a wedding cake and posing for pictures. Such fun.
Joe had a chance to talk with his fellow elder, Rich, for awhile.
It was a really nice day and I was so glad to be a part of it.
