Amazing Servants at the Fall Family Festival

Computer problems have kept me away for a while, but I seem to have access again; even if for a short time.

Wednesday evening was a clear evidence of how the Holy Spirit is working in and through First Baptist Church Harlingen. Our Fall Family Festival was such a great success. The wonderful volunteers of FBC once again stepped up to the plate and hit a smashing homerun. Everywhere you looked you could see the love of God evidenced in the lives of those who were serving with a smile. The wonderful people on mission with God volunteered to serve food and clean up in the kitchen, to run the many games, to oversee the bouncers and large games, to stand in the door or in the hall to greet people. Each of them were vessels of God's love and were blessed by how they saw God working through them.

I was overwhelmed with the comments I heard that night and since then. Many said things like, "everybody here is so friendly" or "we are so thankful that you do this each year" or "we have never been to your church, but we feel so welcome here" or "how can we be a part of what is going on here?" So many expressed appreciation and amazement at the kindness experessed to them.

Please allow me to add that I too was amazed once again and I am so thankful to be a part of what God is doing through our wonderful church family.

Please pray for those who made decisions at the festival and accepted Christ or rededicated their lives. Pray for those who will be coming to our church in the next few weeks, seeking the same love and grace they experienced at the Festival.

serving and loving together with you,
Bro. Wade
