Good Friday, Fun Saturday, Rocking Sunday

We had a busy weekend! Well not in the terms of most pastors this time of year.

We had Elizabeth's parents come up for the weekend. So my non-traditional Easter weekend was as follows.

On Good Friday we went up to a place called R Wild Horses Ranch. Gabriella and Josiah enjoyed their first horse rides. We lead the horses around while they chilled on their back. They had a great time... well Gabriella had a great time... Josiah's horse ride lasted a good five minutes by himself and another ten sitting on his Mom's lap on the horse. Afterwards they had lunch with Nana while Elizabeth, Rick and I went for a trail ride. I rode a horse called Thor. The biggest horse they had, it wanted to kill me. After the riding we headed home and had a quiet evening at home.

On Fun Saturday we explored all of Chico with the grandparents and colored Easter Eggs.

On Rocking Sunday (Easter) Elizabeth, a young man from our Bible study and I served at the Jesus Center. The Jesus Center provides meals to the homeless in Chico. We spent our morning serving food to the homeless. Afterwards we came home and I hid the Easter Eggs for the kids and they had a great time. After a nice lunch our visitors left.

Now we are back to normal, back to loving people in the Starbucks that is closing in the near future. Hoping for big things and thankful for a outstanding weekend!
