Weekend Reflections

I keep thinking that the weekends cant get any better and then, they do. This past weekend was nothing short of Awesome! We had the Church campout at Swiger's lake on Friday and Saturday. We went swimming and fishing at both the Swiger's and the Whittaker's. In the evening we had a huge fire pit with a large grate over top. We cooked corn on the cob, potatoes, hamburgers, sausage, hotdogs, barbecued chicken, shishcabobs, fried fish (that we caught and cleaned ourself) and french fries, baked beans and even macaroni and cheese!! Not to mention the chips and salads and watermelon. It was a great time of fun and fellowship. Saturday night after we ate, we had a Bonn fire and hayrides. There were over 60 people there and it was great fun! (If you missed it, we are planning another camp out over labor day).
Then Sunday was the perfect ending. We had a great crowd, even for a holiday weekend, The worship was uplifting and energizing! We had a great time in God's word and we had a awesome response at the end as we all committed to "FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT" and stand with our students and teens to defend their rights from God in their generation.

The best part of all was that two more people raised their hands that they accepted Christ into their heart for the very first time!

I have to say to all you First Baptist Churchers. I have never been more excited about a community of believers than I am about you! You have caught the Vision that Jesus has, and with God on our side I know that nothing can stop us now!
