Our PC Caregroup & Caregroup Retreat ...plus a green thing


Our PC Caregroup consists of 6 couples.
From Picture:
(top row)
Matt & Siobhan Slack (from Corning, NY ...also good friends of ours from Metro back in the day. I used to babysit for their kids!)
Bryon & Jennifer Lockhart (from Cherry Hill, NJ)
(bottom row)
Aaron & I with Caleb & Tyler who got to come with us on our retreat! :)
Jonathan & Lilli Leslie (from Stillwater, MN)
Ben & Erin Wikner (from Gaithersburg, MD)
(missing from the picture are our dear friends, Luan & Teresa Nguyen from St. Petersburg, FL. We were sad they were unable to join us for the retreat!)

We meet once a month for couples caregroup with Gary & Betsy Ricucci (what an incredible blessing and time of growth that is!). We also meet in smaller groups of 3 for "fellowship group" (the guys meet every Wed. and the ladies every other). We also get together one Sunday a month (rotating whose home we meet at) for dinner and fellowship. It has been such a joy to get to know each of these couples and to grow with them in the grace of our Lord.

Ben & Erin Wikner arranged for our caregroup to have an overnight retreat (back in mid November). A family from Covenant Life Church graciously opened up their beautiful home for us to use. It was right on the Chesapeake Bay. (The water view below is right out the back door!)

What sweet times of fellowship we enjoyed! We ate together (beautiful and huge meals prepared by all the men), laughed together, spent time sharing all kinds of stories from our lives, had a time of prayer and worship together and took time to encourage each other with evidences of God's grace that we see in each other's lives.

(Thanks Siobhan, I borrowed some of these pictures from your blog) :)




Yes, we're eating a green shake (composed of kale, pinapple, lime, flax seed oil). Siobhan got us started on these and this was our first taste. We have actually, due to many different skin problems & health issues, started making these kind of shakes every morning. Joshua even drinks them too! :)
