Over the past few months, the OneLife Couples Ministry enjoyed the near absence of winter and we are now embracing the arrival of spring.

In January, we met in Menomonie, River Falls, and various small towns to eat together and hang up posters to promote the local community Bible discussions. We are very thankful to be able to say that we have had visitors come as a direct result of these posters.

To break the cabin fever, which wasn’t too much of a risk this winter, we enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of Como Zoo & Conservatory in February. We grabbed lunch/coffee at various places in the Twin Cities and everyone returned home with all of their fingers and toes intact.

In March, our members met together to enjoy pizza and a night of trivia. We were able to get to know some more things about one another through some of the questions. (Ask Connor and Maddy what they’d do if they won a million dollars.) Apparently, there are a lot of fans of the TV show Psych in our group!

Most recently, we got out hiking at Hoffman Hills followed by a picnic lunch. Quite a few of us climbed the observation tower and got to see an eagle soar overhead. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for a hike in the woods. We are thankful for the friendships and marriages God has entrusted to all of us and look forward to growing together in the months and years ahead.
