ps - we did take a big group picture, but I didn't want to add to the pile of cameras, so if I end up getting it from someone, I'll post it =)  Until then, I hope you enjoyed.  I am thankful for the messages Peter shared, about taking Jesus' yoke for it is light and easy.  They will be online if you check HERE in a few days (English with French translation).
