Entermissions is one of our favorite things N. Wake Church does every year. In years past it's looked like this for our family. Alas, it's February, and around here that means that nasty ol' stomach bug starts making its rounds. So when Kate got sick in the wee hours of Friday morning, she hung her head and cried that we were going to miss Entermissions this year. It was pitiful (although I am thankful to see that God is cultivating a heart for missions in her!)
*It (thankfully!) turned out to be something that she had eaten the night before that made her sick, and not the full-on virus, but we had to wait it out to be sure.
So we decided this year we'd do Entermissions, Team Reed-style.
We pulled out all our Indian clothes and dressed up...
...made the rounds to some of our favorite restaurants for some take-out to add to what we already had on hand, and compiled quite an array of ethnic foods (quesadillas, pad thai, empanadas, spring rolls, fried plantains,
and spaghetti w/ garlic bread)
Josh whipped up some Chai Tea, an Indian specialty.
The kids each picked a country to read about and pray for, and we also continued our family reading of Adoniram Judson's biography.
Although we hated to miss out on all the fun of the auction and the meal and the booths and the games and all the other things that make Entermissions so awesome, we really did have a fun time at home celebrating the nations.
Judging by their faces, I think they would agree : )
