Every year since we have been in Missouri, our family has attended the Man’s Advance in St Louis. While the men are advancing the Kingdom of God through lectures and studying the Word of God, the ladies share fellowship and tea. On Saturday night there was a family dinner and concert afterwards.
We stayed with our good friends the Hamanns while we were there. They are always so hospitable!
It was an incredibly blessed time in St Louis! We were able to spend time with our many friends and also meet new ones!
Since the men of our family do not take pictures, there are not many of the actually Advance, but I hope you enjoy the ones we do have!
Mr Serven and Mr Swanson were the speakers for the Advance this year.
Mrs McDonald gave us ladies a wonderful lecture on Saturday afternoon!
