Tonight thousands of people will be on our campus for the festival.  We have rides, games, exhibits, entertainment, food, fireworks, places where people can request prayer, candy and much more.  It will involve hundreds of our people.  This is so much more than a fun event.  It gives us the chance to bring so many people to our facilities and introduce them to our fellowship in a very different way.

There will be a lot of enjoyment and a lot of laughter.  The kids will have a good time and so many parents will be grateful to have the opportunity to bring their kids here.

They will see how our people care for them and they will be impressed to see the efforts that our people put forth to serve others.

Don’t forget that this is also an opportunity to plant the seed for sharing the gospel.  Please be much in prayer that God will use every part of the festival to touch hearts and lives.  The Lord can use anything that He wants to use.  The key is our willingness and availability.

I am so grateful for all those in our fellowship that will be here, work so hard and serve so unselfishly.
