Morning Star "Date Night"

Last night many couples from our church enjoyed a Valentines Date Night.  Couples either joined other couples for dinner or just enjoyed a dinner by themselves.  Then we all met at Megs after dinner for some fellowship, dessert, games and a devotional brought by Pastor Bixby.

Pastor used the example of Aquila and Priscilla to encourage Morning Star's couples.  He said that Aquila and Priscilla were examples of 1. Sacrifice 2. Service & 3. Strength.  After his devotional, we kept our annual tradition of couples holding hands while Pastor prayed for the couples of Morning Star.  

The success of the evening was made possible by the sacrifice / servitude of several individuals.  Chris M. did a great job of organizing and "MC-ing" the event.  He came up with a few really fun games for us to play at Megs.  

                                            The atmosphere at Megs was enhanced by having the Koloch sisters provide a string trio.  And many of the couples could enjoy the time together because several people volunteered to watch the kids at the church.  Our hats are off to: Mel G., Joy M., Joel F., Annie B., Sarah D., and Lydia D. for volunteering to help watch the kids.
 
All in all, it was a great night.  We look forward to another date night, maybe we shouldn't wait until Valentines Day to do it again....hmmm... something to think about.
