Small Group Lake Party

This summer we had the so much fun with our small group. The small group semester was focused on a service project for our city. Ron, our fearless leader, was great at organizing the project at Cornerstone Elementary School. It was so awesome to get to be a part of the work that went on in Woodlawn on that day. I have to say our group went over and above the call. We worked from 6:30 that morning until around 7 that night. Some of the folks went back several nights to finish up the projects too. It is so funny, you set out to bless someone else and throughout the process you end up blessed yourself.

Our group grew very close throughout the summer. One of the couples invited us to their lake house to celebrate the end of the semester. It poured on us as we drove out to Smith Lake. We ate and hung out for a while. Then we decided a little rain wouldn't ruin our trip. So we suited up and headed to the water.

The Rutlands:

Mommy & HC (she loved it by the way!)

HC & her buddy Addie in their matching life jackets.

We did some tubing too. I rode with Colby, the teenage son of one of the couples. Wayne took it easy on me though and didn't throw us off.

Thanks to the Cornelius family for showing us such a fun day on the lake.
