Hayride Pictures

WOW!!! We had a GREAT Saturday at John & Gaile Culpepper's for the Preschool & Children's Ministry hayride. This has to be one of my very favorite events to plan because the children and parents have so much fun! There were so many of you that helped by making candy bags, transporting games, organizing prizes, driving for the hayride, cooking chili, bringing candy & cokes, and working games. I can't possibly thank each of you individually, so...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! It wouldn't have been a success without your help!

Mr. John & Mrs. Gaile, you truly are a blessing to me and FBC. It was so sweet of you to open your home to me for the week to set up and offer to help in so many ways. You are awesome!

Enjoy the pictures!!

Trying out the Games for the Hayride...

I ordered these really cool Jack-o-lantern bouncy balls for a relay at the Hayride on Saturday. They were laying in my office and John Calhoun and I decided that they should be tested out before the kids used them!! Go ahead, have a big laugh!!! We sure did!

The relay begins... Miss Abby vs. John

It was just too hard for John to keep up...

We decided to race uphill next...

As you can see, we were definitely drawing a crowd!!!

WHAT HAPPENED, JOHN???

Sheep for India

The 1st-6th graders raised money for India back in March. I challenged the children to collect all of their spare change so that we could put it all together and buy sheep for the families in India. It costs $25 for one sheep, so I thought that if we could raise $100 we would be able to help four families. Boy, was I wrong. The children raised $320.22 and we were able to provide 12 sheep for the families. The children were selling stories, asking family members and coming up with other creative ways to get money! Everyone of the children at FBC love the Lord and enjoy sharing his love in our church, in our community and in our world!!

R.A. Campout

This past weekend, the R.A.'s had a campout. They participated in a World Hunger Walk at Bonita Lakes and were able to earn a patch for their vests. After the walk, they came back to the church gym for good food, ultimate dodgeball, kickball, and many other games. The lights were supposed to be out around 1:00 a.m. and one of the leaders told me yesterday that some of the boys were still awake talking about 2:3o. I think that it's pretty safe to say that a GREAT time was had by all who participated!! Thanks Mr. David, Mr. Coach Cary, Mr. Tommy, Mr. Lan, Mr. Ben and Mr. Mark for spending your Friday night with the R.A.'s. They love ya'll!!!
