Family Fiesta 2009

We had prayed for God to give us great weather for the Family Fiesta; even mud from rain days before would cause great problems with our "block party" style event. We were more than blessed to not see a cloud all day, to have cool temperatures, and a gentle breeze (so as not to bother the upright plywood games and the inflatables). This is the second such event that the weather was extremely perfect for the event - so glad we serve a mighty, sovereign God.

We were so thankful for another opportunity to love our community and neighborhood with the grace and love of Jesus. So many thanked us for the free event, and shared how much it meant to them and their families. It was with great joy we shared with them how God had done the good work and that we only wanted them to know how much God loved them. The smiles in response were so bright and enthusiastic.

We were so blessed to serve together as the body of Christ. We saw many come together for the set up, the non-stop acts of service during the event, and the clean up following the event. I am so blessed to pastor the best church in the world, the best people in the world, and the most humble, serving church. God has brought us together for a reason and a season. I am so glad to see that during this season we are fulfilling that reason as we reach out to our community with his love. God bless each of you who served so powerfully today.

Thankful for all the changed lives today,
Bro. Wade
