Announcements
The members of the Nemaha and Varina United Methodist Churches were invited to an Open House on Sunday Sept. 2nd,
2007 from 5-8 p.m. at Pastor Carl and LuAnn Benge's rural home. Everyone brought a side dish of their choice and meat was provided.
| September 16, 2007: The congregation thanks Carl, LuAnn and family for the
great potluck at their place over Labor Day weekend!! There was great
food, of course, but also a time to meet members from the Varina Church
and time to visit with each other!! |
The guests added their side dishes to the buffet table while the meat was being
grilled in the background.
There was ample time for people to circulate and meet the other church members.
Seating was available on the lawn with many having brought their own lawn chairs. There was plenty of room for the guests to park their vehicles in the nicely landscaped farmyard.
Shown above - LuAnn is enjoying a light note in the conversation.
 
As the youngest member of the group. Lydia received plenty of attention
including from her own father Pastor Carl. Boy is that hot dog good!
The day came to a close near dusk as the guests headed home after a lovely day
of visiting. The weather was mild and the surroundings were charming.
After the crowd thinned out, the famiily started gathering their members
together including Lydia who enjoyed some quiet time in her playpen. It seems in
these busy times that there are not near enough social gatherings where people
can just get together for food and conversation. So nice that Carl and LuAnn welcomed members of both churches to the
parsonage for their open house.
Sept. 16:
Please continue signing up for liturgists. The list is at the back of the church. We welcome all who wish to read scripture during the church service.
