I had the privilege of spending Friday and Saturday with some delightful women from Bethany United Methodist Church in Rochester, MN.
Friday night we had our own supper – BBQ Pork sandwiches, a delicious salad (romaine, apples, cashews, & poppy seed dressing), Hummus (my fav was the black olive) on pita bread, fresh veggies, and fruit.
And. . .we shared stories and laughed – hard.
They decorated the lodge with old photos along the fireplace mantel.
They also shared their stories with each other. . .
I shared. They shared. And. . .a few of us got a little goofy.
Best of all. . .they wrote bits & pieces of their Faith Legacies.
We prayed, sang, ate, laughed, and cried together. That’s fellowship!

Looks like a great time!
It was, Holly – very special!
We did have a great time. You made us feel like long time friends. We also learned so much more about each other, that we would never learn just from time spent in church or even working on church dinners or projects. Thanks for helping us have a successful retreat.
Thank you, Jill – it was a pleasure. I’m thankful so many of you were able to share Legacy stories – that was the best part.
