Our church had their Fall Festival yesterday. They didn't have it last year because of the economy and were very excited to be able to offer the festival again. It is FREE to the community and I think we had about 200 people show up! We had an inflatable slide/bouncy, cake walk, hotdogs, nachos, pie the pastor, pumpkin bowling, photo ops, a police car & firetruck, and 4-5 other games...for FREE!! (Well, admission was a canned good & we collected about 150# of food!!)
I was so proud of our church for their efforts and hard work. You don't put on a festival this big for nothing. So far, we have one family that may start coming to church because they think the pastor is really a good guy for enduring the "pie the pastor" and the other church members are very nice. Another family came to the church today and said they think they'll start coming; that yesterday was a lot of fun! OUTREACH...no Bible banging, no yelling in the streets...fun, laughter, love & service. That's OUTREACH!! Good job, St. Paul (& Pastor Lance)! I've got buttons popping today!!! :)
