7th Anniversary - Church Picnic

Back in 1999, the Lord put on my husband's heart to start a church. He had youth pastored for almost 10 years and then was an Evangelist for 5 . . . traveling all over the world preaching at churches, conferences, camps and Bible Schools. In 2000 Easter Sunday we had our first service. We started the church with about 13 people. Now, 7 years later we are running a little over 400. To help celebrate our church anniversary, each year we have a church picnic. Yesterday, after service about 100 of our church members gathered together for a fun time of food, fun and fellowship! Here are a few pictures from our picnic.

My battery started running out so I couldn't get pictures of anyone else.
We couldn't of asked for a more perfect day. Usually each year we are all sweating because of the heat and humidity. It was once a again 80 degrees, sunny, light breeze and no humidity! Thanks Lord!

Later that evening Carlos had a meeting at our home for our Market Place ministry. This involves all business owners in our church. I rushed home to get everything ready. After the meeting, Ken, Lisa and Ava hung out for a little bit. Taylor was at their house babysitting Kaitlyn and Christian.

I had been holding Ava and then Carlos walked by us. Her eyes followed him all the way to the loveseat where he was sitting. So, he took her for awhile . . . what a good Godfather!
