Since Mae asked...

I was eventually going to post this...but now is a good time I guess--Yes, in the old mall right smack dab next to the church is a rock climbing wall--all kinds of metaphors would apply here :-)



And, Suzanne, sometime this spring they had to vacate the little upstairs room near K-mart (Fire marshal's orders) and were able to get this sweet spot. Behind the curtains at the front of the "sanctuary" is a little area with tables, shelves and a fridge-- and a restroom--so it is very nice.

This is the OLD mall in Grand Forks--and it has some interesting tenants--see below:

Across from the church is THIS little business--for some reason I was tickled--I've heard diversification is a good thing!

WHY North Dakota for 2 months!!!??? --Because we can!!

These 2 cuties are the main reason we came to North Dakota June 7. Yes, We have been here 3 weeks and this is my first post--Shame on me--Now that I have broken the ice--maybe there will be more. For the first week Hannah and Patrick were here too--double fun--


This picture of Ben and Linnea was taken after 10 pm--It's like we are in the land of the midnight sun--only not quite!

Below is another reason we are here--It is a little church plant--that has a very nice spot in the Old Grand Forks Mall--They have an elder that does lay preaching--but no pastor. Jason is preaching for them on Sunday mornings while we are here and doing a Sunday School study of Pilgrim's Progress--Probably more on this later.
