ENGAGE Sunday and Back to School Rally 2014

Yesterday, my family and I served at our church's ENGAGE Sunday and Back to School Rally. It was a wonderful opportunity to show God's love for his children. Within our church, we provided a carnival for the children and families, school supplies,  as well as other needed services for the upcoming year. More importantly, we shared the Gospel and how God is working in our lives. For the past few years, my role within the church for these larger scale events is to coordinate our interpreters. I have loved serving in this capacity and absolutely enjoy working with the teachers, volunteers, and church members that work as interpreters. They are so generous of their time. I am truly thankful for their willingness to serve as well as to work alongside of them.

This year, I enlisted the help of a few of my ABF members and dear friends. I am so thankful for Erin, Richard, Anna, and my husband. I truly could not have completed this task without them. It was also so fun to see many of our ABF members who would be hosting at the event. Their role as hosts was such an integral job to help build relationships with these wonderful families. I have included a few pictures of our sweet friends and ABF members for your enjoyment.

This was truly a night of celebration for our church. I am so thankful for a church that continues to serve both globally as well as locally. It will be so fun to grow these relationships over the years and watch how God continues to move and grow us in our journeys.

ABF Easter Project

 

On Saturday April 12th from 1-4PM, our Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) had the opportunity to share in a wonderful Easter service project and celebration.

Our volunteers joined together to help host an Easter Party to share the true story of Easter and grace. From face painting, Easter etched art crafts, games, raffles, food, and one giant Easter egg hunt, we had a great time. The weather was perfect, a bit overcast and windy, but it didn't rain as previously projected. I say it was a great day for a party. Enjoy pictures from our afternoon Easter celebration.

As soon as the goals were set, children of all ages came to join the party. It was so fun watching our men take on these kids. I asked one of the boys what the score was. He quickly told me that they were schooling the old guys 5-2.It was so fun watching the kids (old and young) together.

For lunch, we served hotdogs, popcorn, and juice.

Worship leaders joined us.

These ladies were so sweet

Let the hunt begin!

The children were filled with happiness and a lot of delicious candy.

I am so thankful for these sweet people that we get to share life with. What a truly amazing day. We received lots of comments about our Jesus and who He is and what He's given us. What a blessed day!
