Dinner Par-tay
On Friday night, we had Clay and Dave and Quinci over for a dinner party and game night. We had a fabulous curry meal and played some crazy rounds of Hoopla, Whoonu and Slapagories. It was a great evening and reminded us how fun our friends really are.
Saturday Movie
Courtesy of Heather's boss, Mary, the three of us went to see "Juno" in theaters on Saturday afternoon. The movie was hilarious and strangely touching and we couldn't have been happier to indulge in an MVS rarity.
Sunday School...it's Cool
Our Sunday School at St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship is, in our opinion, one of a kind. This fall we began a "potpourri" Sunday School in which different topics are discussed each week, each of them issues that all of us as Christians and human beings deal with on a regular basis. Some of the topics have been responsible consumerism, Mennonite history and racism. This Sunday, we talked about Sin, Salvation and The Church. Three huge topics that needed much more than a 45 minute class but the discussion was incredibly valuable. We truly love the way that our church gives respect and validity to many broad and varied opinions and that questioning even some of Christianity's most foundational doctrines is expected and appreciated.

And how it all comes together, built on bits from everywhere, is quite amazing.
Your curry, for instance, has an interesting touch of history. The oven you made it with is our old oven, which replaced the real junker the VS house use to have. That made room for my father-in-law to give us back our favorite oven (that we left in the house that we sold to him) so he could install _his_ new oven. So, my father-in-law's purchase of a new oven made it possible for you to cook curry without blowing up your kitchen.
