Sunday Report

So despite drinking the night before which led to not really sleeping, because I never sleep well when I have more than one or two drinks, I still mananged to get up and make it to church this past Sunday. I even made cherry turnovers for breakfast! (from a box, lest you think me superbaker.)

I picked up my sister and we headed to the Sharonville United Methodist Church which was every bit as charming as I remembered it. The junior bell choir played the prelude. The children's choir sang a lovely song that included whistling that made the congregation laugh, (and made me wish I taught children's choir again) the music was old-fashioned but heartfelt and the pastor's sermon was serious in places with just the right touches of humor. (He bought Jones soda Thanksgiving dinner set and had it out in the lobby afterwards for people to try. For the record Pea soda is disgusting, but now I can say I participated and by participating I can invite other people to join in with me.)

One thing I really like is that they have three services. One contemporary and two "spirited traditional." Just the way they phrase it makes me like that much more. And they have Methodist right there on the front sign by the road too. ;-D

Another upside is that it's just down the street from my parent's church, so afterwards we jumped in the car and made it just as their service was ending. We visited with friends and then headed to lunch where dad picked up the bill. :-D

All in all, a very successful Sunday.
