On Sunday April 8th, we went to Grace United Methodist Church for the Rainbow Sunday service. The girls that attended were Katie, Sami, Zoey, Eliza, Jazmyn, Joella, Kate, Allison, Dalanie, Gigi, Makenzie, Vanessa, Ella, and me. The Girls and Rainbow Adults all sat down together and we even got introduced by the Pastor! We listened to some great music by the choir (Vanessa and Preston were in it!), sang some songs together, prayed, and learned some great lessons from the speakers. After the service, we all took a picture together and headed to the Lodge for the Initiation. I had a great time and I hope that I get to do it again!

My favorite station in the Bow is Religion. I love how it represents the strength that comes from faith and God, but also peace and love for others. Its color is a fiery orange, symbolizing these combined traits.

On April 8th, our Assembly had a really big Rainbow Sunday celebration that included the Initiation of two new Rainbow Girls. We met up at Grace United Methodist Church in Manassas for the 11 am service with many of our parents and Masonic family.

After the service, we went back to the Lodge for an Initiation of two new Rainbow Girls, Grace and Eliza. After the initiation we all had a cookout.  Dad Wyatt and Dad Stan kept the hamburgers and hot dogs coming from a fire pit outside. We had veggie burgers for the vegetarians. Everyone brought tons of food.  There were lots of side dishes and chips and drinks. We toasted marshmallows over the fire and made s’mores. We had so many desserts we almost couldn’t eat them all! We also played kickball outside for a couple of hours. It was a long day and we kept going until almost dinner time, but no one could eat any more, so we cleaned up and went home.

It was a really fun day, and I look forward to next year.

On July 31st, a few members of Hampton Assembly decided to meet up and go to Bring a Friend Day at the church that helps us with feeding the homeless. Julia, Kensley, and myself had been to Sunday church service there before and we were very glad to go again. They had a great service and there was even a fake mountain and camp site in the front where later that evening they would hold the start of their vacation bible school this summer! The three of us and our families stayed for lunch afterwards and all had a fun time joking and enjoying each other’s company together. It was a mighty fine day!
