For the last two weeks we have been gearing up for one of our biggest events of the year. Our annual Harvest carnival. We typically have between 300-500 people come through for games, food and a whole lot of fun.
Yesterday was the big day and when the doors were opened at 5:00 there were people lined up waiting. Over the next 2 hours about 400 people came through the church. It is always such a blessing to me to see so many happy, laughing filling the church.
It is an amazing amount of work but it brings amazing and unexpected dividends. It brings people into the church who normally would never come. It builds relationships as the walls of the church are removed to minister to the community. It reminds us that real ministry happens when we take the walls down.
I am thankful for last night. For the hard work, for the blessings and for all of the people who sacrificed to make it happen.
And I am glad that for now it is done ....
Just Connie
