Sweet Fellowship - a little painful though

This past weekend has been one that I have enjoyed greatly. The family of First Baptist Church Harlingen enjoyed some down time together. We spent Saturday morning at war with each other, a paintball war that is. We had so much fun plastering each other with different colors of paint. Some of us resembled Joseph and his coat of many colors by the time we were through. Some of us, especially the older guys, were a little sore the following day from all the diving and running, not to mention the whelps from the paintballs. Through it all, we laughed, played, and of course ate together. Once again, we experienced the family life found in FBC Harlingen.

On Sunday we enjoyed a special mission report from the Ackerman family about their work in Nepal. We worshipped the Lord together and were blessed to hear a great word from the Lord in our Life Groups and in our worship service.

During the afternoon hours, we participated in our second annual TURKEY BOWL. It was a great afternoon of flag football and hamburgers in Arroyo Park. The "Cogers" beat the "Whippersnappers" in a close game, but fun was had by all. One of the coggers actually had to have small shoulder surgery that night, but overall everything went great.

During all of these events, we saw our church having fun together. People of all ages coming together to love each other and spend quality time together.

Praise God for the sweet fellowship of First Baptist Church Harlingen.

sore but loving it,
