Monkey Goes To Baptist Church

As part of Aunt B's grad school program, she works at a local church as their Minister of Children and Youth. The church doesn't have spring break, so we have been lucky to attend this church for both Sunday morning service and Wednesday night dinner. They have been exceptionally kind and welcoming to us, and it is no surprise that Monkey is very popular with the congregation.

On Sunday morning, Aunt B brought Monkey up front to serve as the object lesson for the 'Kid's Time'. She spoke about how he still needs help to do many things (despite what he may think) and how God asks us to serve one another. The pastor said it was the first time they have ever had a live show and tell during worship.

Tonight at dinner, Monkey was not feeling his best but still managed to work the room and win a few hearts. Hopefully they will all remember his excellent behavior on Sunday and forget his high chair protestations on Wednesday.

After the dinner, Monkey enjoyed a leisurely picnic under the stars visiting with Aunt B's best friend K while Aunt B led youth group.


As Mr. Z so often says, Enjoy it now, Monkey. Later you will have to pay big money for that kind of service.
