Youth Activity Sat Dec 3, 2011

Wow, what a great time we had! We got to make some super Christmas ornaments with a wise man and a couple of camels. We stained, painted, put finish on them, etc. These will be prized possessions of our families for years!! (we hope).

We also had some really neat games and activities that wore everyone out. --and then finished with Pizza!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!

Fall workday October 22, 2011

We had a great turnout on a beautiful day to plant shrubs, plant
flowers, pour sidewalks, and plant grass.



Many "green thumbs" were steadily at work



There was plenty of work to do, so while some planted shrubs,
others finished up the concrete.



Mulch was added to help "pretty up" the landscape.




-and some supervised while others worked! Ha! You'll notice the
supervisor's shirt is stained with sweat! A well deserved break!



Five foot wide sidewalks were added from the parking lot.



Yes, that concrete is still wet, and no human or doggy footprints
were added. That's a miracle!



We're all going to enjoy the shrubs.



We had the right equipment, many rakes, hoes, and mechanized
machinery!



Grass is being mixed so that we'll have a good "blend" of grass.



We even had pansies for everyone to plant so that they'd
feel a part in this terrific project.

Homecoming! Oct 16, 2011

We held our first homecoming/old fashioned day in our new building on Sunday Oct 16, 2011. It was a beautiful day, and the morning service was outstanding. We were blessed to have one of our missionaries here to bring the morning message, and another member of his church in Haiti sang a very special song in Creole. It brought tears to many eyes! We then had "dinner on the grounds" outside enjoying the gorgeous day. As always, there was more than enough food to go around.

Our pastor making introductions.


Choir singing, remember this is old fashioned Sunday!


Our very special speaker for the day, one of the national
missionaries that we help to support.






Dinner under the tent.




Look at that gorgeous sky!!




Lots of food! And there were more tables than this!

First baptism service

Tonight we had the pleasure of having our first baptismal service in the new building! We had 3 individuals with a desire to be an obedient believer, having given a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. To God be the Glory!!
