Weekend in the Rear View Mirror

Wow! What a weekend.

Saturday kicked off with the Community Harvest Festival. Kudos to all who worked so hard to pull off the event. I'm convinced it was second-to-none. The games, candy, inflatable bounce games, pony rides, great band, FREE food and kids stuff, and the dunking. Oh, the dunking. Seemed like everyone was hitting their target when I was sitting in there. All for a great cause- CASA. I think we raised about $300. That's a lot of dunks.

Hope ya'll had a blast. It was exciting to see the cars lining Yale Rd since the parking lot was full. That's great! Our guestimates put us at over 500 guests. Hope our community knows that we're here to serve and love!

Then... it was waking up and off to Sunday morning LifeHouse. The plus was that all our stuff was nearly set-up. What a boost!

Wrapping up this "Let's Talk" campaign. Hope everyone is growing through this series. It's important and tough to talk, not only about sex, but also about overcoming the challenges and guilt from bad decision and abuse from the past.

GIVE WHAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN!

So far we've raised over $800 toward the abstinence education program of Washington County.

Patrick, the above post looks like spam.

Harvest festival 07 rocked! I said before that I feel it really spoke our authenticity. The fact that it was all free (Free food, free kids clothes, free games, and free band) coupled with the fact that it wasn't trying to promote the LifeHouse, but to serve our neighborhood- it just says to our community, "We value you."

This sermon series also rocked. What an awesome job talking about such a tough topic with such candor and relevance.
