Fellowship

Since the social distancing guideline prevents our normal fellowship, today will be our second "online" fellowship.  So, if you would like to respond to this bulletin or next week's email with any news or acts of service you want to share, I will publish them in the bulletin each week. Please let me know by 10 am each Wednesday. 
Kristi and I are still busy with home projects.  We power washed and sanded  500 sq feet of pavers, painted our pergola, deck posts and two entry doors last week. This weekend we will tackle a backslash. Kamryn is starting summer school  for her Master's degree this week online at Mankato.  I hope we will be able to meet at The Inn at Shattuck soon. In the meantime please join our weekly Zoom meeting at noon each Wednesday. 
 
From Andy Bohlen:
During the time of social distancing FPD has answered the call on numerous occasions to deliver a parade of lights past birthday parties, anniversaries, and special events! (See photo above)
 
From Kurt Halvorson:
The Stay at Home order has provided a welcome slow down to life; I have enjoyed spending quality time with my daughter, my girlfriend Natalie and her son Keaton.  In addition, I have had more time devoted to getting my model railroad up and running, and I am excited to share that just last night I was able to run a locomotive model on it for the first time in 2 years! 
 
From Eric Craig:
I am still extremely busy with tax season as the past four to six weeks have been mostly spent assisting clients with all new Covid related tax legislation, loans, unemployment, stimulus review, etc. which has drastically slowed our tax preparation.  Fortunately, the tax deadline was extended through July 15th which is bitter sweet. I’ve been working from home mostly for the last two months but hoping to get back to some semblance of normal sooner than later.  We purchased a new arcade game and an outdoor basketball hoop so we’ve been having fun with those.  We are hoping to get in some camping this summer and are thankful to be busy, healthy, and safe during these uncertain times.
Last week I was able to deliver some flowers to three littles in the BBBS program including our little, Anthony.  I dropped off some lunch for him and some treats for his family.  We are hoping to get back to spending time with him soon.  I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone on the Zoom meeting tomorrow.
