Mother/Daughter Banquet

Me and Ashley , My borrowed daughter :)

Roxanne and I, she is with my Sunday School Class .

Saturday before mother's day , our church always have a mother and daughter banquet. It's really nice though. For the last 4 and half years that I have been attending this church. I have been to three banquets. The last two was very nice. We have our men who serve as "waiters" . They even wear something that a waiter in an expensive restaurants wore, with matching neck ties. All of us ( women,ladies, girls ) do is simple sit. As we arrived the fellowship hall. Our waiter( men at church ) will usher us to our table.

This year's event is really different. We have a caterer. So instead of just waiting for our foods and drinks to be served, we have to get it ourselves. But still it was fun to have fellowship with the mothers and your sisters in the Lord. The couple who organized this event cannot do this, this year as they are getting ready for their mission trip to Afghanistan. Yes, they are going to live there with their 3 sons.

We started this year's event at the sanctuary, with singing and listening to the word of God. Our speaker was Brandi Mccants. She speaks about spending quite time with the Lord. In our busy world today, we seem to forget having an intimate fellowship with the Lord. We always put aside our quiet time, saying we do not have time. I myself is guilty of doing this. I am busy with work and lately, I stayed most of my time in the computer doing with blogging , and other stuff. How could I say I don't have time when I wasted so much time in front of the computer? As a christian woman , I have to make sure that I spend time with the Lord in my quiet time.

After eating the spiritual food, we went to the fellowship hall and enjoy the foods and the comic fashion show that our ladies have prepared. We had a great time.
