Church Progress :)

We have had a great weekend at church. We are encouraged by the response we got at our Back to School Bash that was this past Saturday. Adam had been planning that for a while and lots of work went in to it. We did lots of outreach too. We ended up with 60-70 people. We had a live band, free food.. hot dogs, popcorn, chips, and snow cones. Of course snow cones are always a hit! :) We had the air hockey, pool table, and ping pong upstairs. Outside we had cornhole, and ladder ball as well as our small playground and our food was in the fellowship hall. So as you can see from the pictures people were scattered at different places. It went GREAT! Everything went smoothly and we were happy with the amount of adults/ parents that came and listened to the band. Adam also spoke for a short time and I was so proud of everything he did!

We were also greatly encouraged that our neighbor and their little boy, who we had been inviting to church for a while, came to the bash!! Many people are sadly un-churched around here so we definitely have a mission field. On Sunday, a Dad and his two daughters came back to visit our church (that came on Sat.) and even came to Sunday School. We also have three young girls that we are going to pick up for church Wed. night that came to the bash. Very awesome!

Then Sunday night, Adam spoke about our Family Ministry and showed all of his plans/ events for youth and children for the upcoming year as well as showing what he had come up with for a mission statement, vision, etc. He gave handouts and let the church see where our needs are to serve also. I am so thankful the church appreciates Adam and his hard work and are telling him/ showing it. After this, we had our Cake Auction to raise money for the Family Ministry. I was amazed that about $850 was raised!! We had a great turnout with cakes, pies, etc. and church members that came to buy/ support the ministry.

Praising God for great results and we trust He is going to do so much more!!
