Fun at Church!

It feels like it's a thousand degrees outside with 100% humidity! The only time we are outside is to run from the house to the car and then into the store and back again!

One thing that we have started doing this summer that we are enjoying is finding things to do in the evening...with babysitting provided. Last week, my husband and I started ballroom dance classes at my (Baptist) church. A member there used to teach professionally, so he let the pastor know he would be willing to do this as an outreach opportunity. They provide child care for our little guy and we get 1 1/2 hours to do something that we wouldn't normally do. Believe me, I never thought I would take dance lessons, but it is so much fun (and we are all equally bad)! I know a local restaurant also does this, so check around and you might find some free dance lessons!

We have found other great opportunities at our church as well. Every Wednesday morning I attend a women's Bible study where childcare is provided. It is nice to have a little break each week and grow spiritually! Last Friday, I got to leave the boys at home and headed out with a friend to watch a girlie movie with the other women at church. It was a lot of fun and we (I) had a lot of sweet stuff! We also regularly attend in-home fellowships and prayer time each week which let us get to know other couples better.

Have you looked into programs your church (or another local church) offers during the week for fellowship and growth? Is there a talent you could share that others would attend classes about?
