Playing for fun and connection

Dean (L) building LEGO with young adults.

SBF’s season of Sunday school ended with an outdoor service, followed by lunch outdoors. After lunch attendees made some teams and played interactive games with people of all ages. It was a beautiful day!

We’ve had quite a few new people join our congregation and it’s been wonderful getting to know them.  Church camp is a great place for us to have conversations that often feel rushed on a Sunday morning.  Church softball has started up again and we play to have fun, as winning hasn’t been occurring just yet. Our spectators are the best cheerleaders. We are so grateful for our body of believers with whom we can share life!

Our young adults group really love hanging out together. They are led by Dean and Jo Poirier biweekly. Throughout the year they have many Bible studies and fun events. One of their event highlights is a LEGO building contest where they are given LEGO sets to assemble in the least amount of time possible.  There is always a healthy competition and prizes to be won.

We are praising God and thankful for all he has done this past year and how he will continue to work in and through us!

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things” (Psalm 107:1, 8–9).
