august will be the last month of the sky is big in pasadena.
#4 - pasadena mennonite church/palm sunday peace parade
i cheated a bit with this one. realisticially, these both deserve their own entry in my top ten. but because they are pretty closely related, i tied them together.
pasadena mennonite has been our incredible church home while we've lived here. we have been welcomed there with open arms and have found meaningful relationships that will carry on beyond pasadena. this community has acted as our substitute parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. they have been our mentors and peers in ways we never could have imagined.
the peace parade is one of the things that this church does annually as a way to make a public declaration of a commitment to peace. it is held every year on palm sunday and has grown to include many other local groups dedicated to peace and an end to global warfare.
both of these things are special to me, and i will miss them deeply when we move from here.

I've fallen behind this week, Ben! I'm enjoying your countdown, but I don't want to see you get down to #1 and farewell.
I know, I'm getting pretty sentimental too...
