G&E Walking Update

For the week ending March 19, our walking group walked 126.7 miles making our total distance walked now 3461 miles. We are just slightly east of Shreveport, Louisiana and have just 400 miles to go to reach our next stop in Lawton, Oklahoma.

Now that spring is here, keep those walking shoes on and keep adding those miles!

Youth Groups – THE SCENE

At our April SCENE meeting we welcomed a new friend, Liam, to the group. Many thanks to Greta Manley and family for the delicious snack, to Don Descoteaux for filling in for Jean Crowley, and to Logan and Landon Lane for helping out as well.

We talked about our quote of the month “Be kind whenever possible. It is ALWAYS possible” and played lots of games – church BINGO, musical charades, and can you spot the difference.

Our last meeting of the year will be on Thursday, May 13, with a slightly extended time from 3:30-5pm. Our snack that day will be our traditional last meeting ice cream sundaes. We will provide the ice cream and whipped cream and ask that everyone bring an ice cream topping to share. We hope to see everyone, including Mrs. Crowley, at our May 13th meeting.
