Weekend Update

Last weekend we did God In The Great Outdoors (GITGO) and had a fantastic time. This is the second time that we've done this style of service and I really enjoy it. It would be even better if we could do it in the fall, but as for now we can't hold the outdoor services when classes are in full swing.

But this summer we've had some great days. We'll see if three is pushing it in August, but we're super excited to be welcoming Pasadena A/G church to worship with us that day. PAG has been our lead supporter in these early days of our church. Their prayer, giving, and volunteerism has really helped us lay the foundation that we're standing on now. On August 23rd we'll mark the third anniversary of the commissioning service held at Pasadena where they launched us out to start the new church.

Highlights from Sunday:
  • Special guest: Abbi Harrah
  • Welcoming back newly-weds: The Bells and The Hartmans
  • Making new friends (seven first time guests)
  • Making better friends (five second and third time guests)
  • Pineapple
  • Giving away Brusters Ice Cream
  • Bottled Water and EZ Up tents
  • Ukulele music
It was a great time. Thanks to everyone that made it work. See you next month for GITGO!
