A good evening

Postby paul » October 31st, 2008, 8:06 pm

I just retuned from our annual harvest festival. Each year our church rents a place called mulligans. It is an small amusement park. Kiddie rides, miniture gols, go-karts, enormous number of arcade games. It cost us around $5,000. Everything is free except the concession stand.

Tonight we registered 673. We had over 100 walk in's off the street. It was so neat to watch people come up to the door and ( not knowing) and want to purchase a ticket to get in, only to be told they needed no ticket that it was free. compliments of West Coast Life Church. We had several bands playing and a 15 minute drama and several came forward to receive Christ. What a wonderful evening.

Next week the church will begin followup on over 100 cards filled out by those walk in's.

BTW my wife nancy won first place in the adult6 costume contest. a $50 gift certificate to outback.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

I volunteered at The Rock church to help with their Harvest Fest. We prepared over 10,000 hot dogs! They were expecting 8,000 to 10,000 people. I'm sure there were at least that many! They had all kinds of blow ups for kids to play on and a stage for entertainment. This church is in a former department store and they have 3 services on Sunday. Each one is filled to capicity. The pastor spoke as well as the hispanic pastor and many gave their lives to God.

After I left there I was invited to a late dinner at the newest resturant here in Huntsville. It's called Cotton Row Resturant and is downtown in one of the historical buildings. Wow! The food was awesome and I was treated royally! The chief even came to my table. I was greeted by the owner and the manager took care of my order personally! Of course, I must tell you that my son is the manager. :)

A wonderful ending to a beautiful day! God is so good to me! Life is great!

Now I'm off to see my sister in the "holy city." :lol:
