May Day Snow, and New Members at Church

In North Dakota it might snow any month of the year, except, maybe July. Even then, July can get mighty cold. We woke up this morning for the first of May -- May Day, the day where you make baskets and frolic in the sunshine and green green grass -- and saw a few inches of crackly, icy snow on the ground.

OK. So we move on. But, well ... blargh.

In much better news, this morning we became members of United Lutheran Church. It's an historic church in downtown Grand Forks, with a wonderful and welcoming congregation. At Sunday Services, we meet with young young children and friendly elderly members, and we very much enjoy the wide range of people. The pastors are a married couple, and have been at the church for about a decade.

After the service, we sat in the Fellowship Lounge for a coffee-and-bar hour. It was a nice morning, and we're very happy to be a part of the church.

So, snow in May isn't so bad, when you're a part of warm community!
