A few, like us, expect to stay here for the forseeable future, but my brother and his wife have been here for 2 years and may leave next summer. This makes for a kind of odd mix of age groups that is constantly in flux.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-45109299344443415992014-08-16T15:53:27.812-05:002014-08-16T15:53:27.812-05:00Ah, I see.

All the girls in this party are from about 3 different churches. My original church only has about 10 teenagers and about 6 little kids...which is disheartening considering we used to have around 20 teenagers 3 years ago.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-78766007516931707342014-08-16T15:38:29.366-05:002014-08-16T15:38:29.366-05:00No youth group because we have 5 or 6 teens, total...No youth group because we have 5 or 6 teens, total. Two of them teach Sunday School, and one of the others helped with VBS, so they're fairly active and involved. We also have probably 12 to 15 kids between the ages of 7 and 12, and last time I counted, more than 20 that are 6 and under. It's a smallish congregation with a lot of very young families, so I'm sure it won't be long before we start a youth group. Until this year, we only had 4 Sunday School classes (teen, 4th-6th grade, kindergarten thru 3rd grade, 2-4yr olds). This year, we're adding a fifth, splitting up all those teeny ones into a 2-3 yr old group and a 4-5 yr old group. And yours truly is going to co-teach the youngest class :-)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-3206285760147168352014-08-16T15:32:42.999-05:002014-08-16T15:32:42.999-05:00Yes, scones = nummy. :-) And, no youth group?

Speaking from experience, it is hard when all of your church family is over 30.

We were of all ages but celebrating for a sweet lady's eightieth. The china used was so exquisite with delectable finger foods. Afterwards I was so sad that I had forgotten to take photos, but the friend at whose house it was held said not to worry as this was an excuse to hold another one ....bring it on :)<br />Alexa from Sydney, Australia<br />http://www.Alexa-asimplelife.comAlexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359326046389139990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496082454270008723.post-40739414564813371262014-08-14T00:05:00.077-05:002014-08-14T00:05:00.077-05:00Oh my, you girls are such dolls!
