JULY
We had a great 4th of July Church Picnic, we had a great crowd with plenty of games and plenty of food! The kids had fun with the sack race and the men played football!
Our VBS was a huge success. We had as many as 35 kids in attendance from the local area. The teenagers from Winkler Road Baptist Church conducted our VBS as a mission's trip and we are so grateful for their wonderful labor of love!
Joshua got engaged to a wonderful young lady named Tabitha Fisher. Their wedding is set for January 6th, 2017 at Tri-City Baptist Church in Port Charlotte, FL. All are welcome to come!
August & September
The homeschool activities have been a great time for the children and momma's. They do them once per month and we had a great turn-out for the activity at the local Police Department!
We had a great mission's conference in September. Our guest speak was Dr. Scott Caudill and our folks responded well to the preaching and Faith Promise commitments. Because of the increase in Faith Promise that was committed, the church voted unanimously to take on the Florida Baptist College for monthly support! This makes our 7th mission's project/family!
October
We had a "50's & Up" fellowship at our house. There was a fierce competition between the men and the women in the Family Feud game! It was a great turnout and fun fellowship!
We had 15 ladies who registered for an overnight Ladies' Conference. We had to rent a van in order for the ladies to travel together and they had such a wonderful fellowship together.
We prayed for Mr. Eric for quite a long time. He was Joshua's co-worker and he trusted Christ as his Savior!
We've had several baptisms. Including this wonderful family! They all accepted Christ on the same Sunday morning and were all baptized on the same Sunday evening together.
We've also seen several of the children who ride our van to church to get saved in Junior Church! We are excited to see what God has in store for these young people whom we have a part in their lives.
November & December to come!!!
