Our church took a field trip to the local
Ten Thousand Villages store last night. They are a supplier of fair trade jewelry, home decor, gifts, and more. We had about 30 people attend. I thought that was pretty good. We started off with a catered meal in their basement (thanks Joan), listened to a program about the company and their mission, and then we went upstairs and could shop. I bought some incense. You know, for when I get incensed about things. I bought lavender, so our worship gatherings should be nice and mellow for awhile.
On a side note, the lady who gave the talk (and works there) attended our church as a child. She was in an auto accident when she was 3 years old, and they said she either wouldn't make it or she would be a vegetable all her life. Our church went to prayer for her, and she made a complete recovery. Crazy.
Here are some pics...
Here we are gathered in the basement feeding our faces.

I'm sad I couldn't go...looks like quite a few people who don't attend church went. How exciting!
See ya tomorrow.
