After the Psalm sing, Mr. and Mrs. M. hosted a series of games for anyone who wanted to attend. It was a grand time!


In a circle

We played a funny game called "Psychiatrist". Two people (the "psychiatrists") try to figure out what the group's "problem" is.

Mr. A: "Are you wearing a blue shirt?"
Mr. J: "No"
Mr. A: "Well then what color is it, because it sure looks blue to me!"
Rushing to find a different seat!

Amusing themselves with more games

Meanwhile, others played some different games....such as "Go Fish" :)


Cheerfull siblings holding creamer for Mumzie while she said good-bye to family :)

And so ends the Conference. Before concluding, I would like to say that although it may appear that all we do is chat and play games (which are good and profitable things at appropriate times), we are also blessed to hear uplifting, encouraging, and convicting preaching.
