Our preacher says that Sunday School is the most important hour of worship. Many people would argue with that but I believe it whole heartedly...without Christian fellowship we can isolate ourselves in our Christian walk. Our Sunday School class is known as the Newlyweds/Young Married--until Cullen and I moved to Pontotoc the newlywed class had people that had children I taught in preschool choir when I was in highschool...they aged...they just didn't shake the class title. For the first summer we went to Sunday School with the 35-45 year olds...and then a new class was formed and it started with three couples, the Vandivers, the Segars, and the Pollards. We laughed that no couple could be absent becasue it would be awkward for the two that were left.
Sam Dowdy, my highschool principal, encouraged us one Sunday saying it won't be too long before you guys will need a bigger room...we laughed as we looked around at the starting six members.
In just shy of a year we doubled our class size. We added the Thompsons, the Jefcoats, and the Sanfords, and recently we added the Hogues.
We first began monthly outings when we were studying marriage. We called them date nights and would go to places around town, each others homes or gather for Super Bowl/other events.
Ooohh. Now we have moved on. Last month we branched out and went to Neely's in Memphis...you know the place...the one where the people are on t.v. Down Home with the Neelys...guess what? We met her.
This past Saturday night we went to the Como Steakhouse. Cullen and I have been a couple of times during college and I have been to celebrate birthdays with friends, but this time it was for a monthly Sunday School Social. Oh and don't think we don't roll up in the church van...because we do. Here is a picture from last summer in Memphis when we went to Rendevous...try parking the bus in a parking garage...
Here are some places we have eatten and if you know any great places within an hour to two hour radius of Pontotoc that you think we should go let me know. We enjoy trying new places.
Olive Garden, Rendevous, Como Steakhouse, Neely's, Old Venice, El Charro, and some I know I am forgetting.
