Bontrager Family

Last week our family was privileged to host the Bontrager Family Singers in our home and at our church.
They sang for our morning services, then provided the evening worship-We had a soup supper for a few out-of-town families who were coming for the concert. It was a special time of fellowship before the full crowd attending the concert. And what a concert! It was a little over an hour long, filled with songs, a skit, and scripture memory. After, we had a yummy cookie reception provided by some ladies in the church.
On Monday, our families (Beckman/Bontrager) enjoyed a true Swedish breakfast prepared by a very hospitable friend of ours. We were going to go for a little "field trip" but due to chilly weather, we had to postpone it. So we stoked up the fireplace, curled our fingers around a hot drink, brought out the games, and talked to our heart's content-well, almost. I'm sure we could have discussed many more topics, if we would have had the time!
