It's a Party!

We experimented on Sunday and held a Family Fun Fair and Neighborhood Cookout at The Gathering. Other than the cumbersome name, it was a huge success! We had good food, children's games, an inflated Safari Jump, and even a balloon artist! We registered 45 families in attendance, with something like 50 kids. We had numerous written and spoken prayer requests, and had the opportunity to welcome and bless our neighbors. I don't know if we'll see immediate results in more Sunday evening attendance, but we were a blessing to our neighborhood, and that was the plan from the start. LORD, use us as you wish!
Oh yeah, the greatest surprise was that Tamika returned and joyfully participated in serving! We haven't seen her since her baptism, but we have been praying for her continually, and the LORD answered our prayers! Hallelujah!
