Sipping tea from real tea cups, connecting with good friends and new friends, making something with our hands, going home equipped to keep going (both in craft and in life), sitting in the quiet with Jesus and His Word — this is what the weekend was intended to be, and we heard and witnessed it being a very big success.

The gatherings, the happy traditions, the cozy festivities, the thoughtful giftings — they’d mean nothing without the people we share them with. Which makes the loss of them even greater this time of year!
