The New Sign

Dedication Day Is Coming!

Sunday Night- Movie Night

We watched the movie "Fireproof" at Church this evening.  We had a good crowd and there was popcorn for everyone to enjoy.

After the movie we served BBQ sandwiches to all who wanted to purchase one.  The kids played in the gym after all the chairs were put away.
Come join us on Sunday night for food and fellowship.

The Curtain Is Up

That should keep the stray basketballs off the stage.

New Title

Well, since the contruction at the Church is pretty much over (there are still ongoing projects), I decided to change the name of this blog.  When we have different activities and I remember my camera, I'll post those pictures here.

Disciple Now Weekend

There were over 100 kids signed up for the Disciple Now weekend at the new Church.  They held their group meetings in the youth room and did other activities thru the day.

At night they all split up to spend the night in homes that were set to host them (and feed them).
They had lessons in the home groups before finally going to sleep and heading back to the Church the next day.
There were 4 kids that accepted Jesus as thier Savior over the weekend.  That's what it's all about.

First Sunday in the New Building

Today was the first regular Sunday service in our new building.  All the chairs were set up the night before in hopes that a large crowd would come.  Before the service started they had to bring in even more chairs!  The official count for the day was 496.  Tony said that to a preacher, that's 500.
We started the service with a baptism.  Jason Ramsey, the contractor for the building, baptised one of the workers who had been saved during construction.  25 workers accepted Christ during the construction of this building.
Tony preached a wonderful sermon, as usual.  We were tweaking the sound system through out the entire service trying to get it to sound good.  I hope we were successfull.
I didn't get upstairs to take a overview picture of the entire room.  I was too busy running the computer and helping with the sound.  But above is the right side...
and this is the left side.  Everything worked fairly well.  Only one thing didn't work.  We couldn't get the audio to play on a video they wanted to show.  Hopefully that will be fixed by next week.
Then it was time to eat!  JohnE was excited about that.  There was lots of food for everyone.
They set up the serving lines in the fellowship hall.  After you got your food you would head out to eat in the lobby area or...
back in the gym.  We quickly rolled out tables and moved the chairs around so everyone would have a place to sit.  It was a great first Sunday!  If you didn't make it, we hope to see you soon.
