A Rewarding Night

Last night was so refreshing!

We had bouncy houses, popcorn, cotton-candy, and other fun games. A special thank you is due the AWANA leaders for making this year and last night’s AWANA Awards Night uplifting and fun!

I am grateful for the encouragement and challenge given to our younger generation.

 My older three children received awards for memorizing Scripture and completing AWANA lessons. Amelia walked across the stage bashful, her head tilted downward with a shy grin on her face. On the other hand you have my son, Russell, who walked across the stage smiling at the audience and waving like a politician who just won office. (Maybe he gets that from his mother...) Samuel was his usual jovial self.

 I pray the fruit from their labors will last a life-time. Maybe that’s captured in the picture I took...

...maybe, lol.

And I was so proud of Courtney for the 8-month long commitment she kept in directing Sparks. She is truly a special lady!

Last night was full of joy and fellowship. What a refreshing break from the hardship and complexity of life.

I hope you can take the time to enjoy the relationships that God has given you this week.

 I love our church family, and I appreciate the ways that you minister to me and my family. I won’t be preaching this Sunday, but I am eager to hear the message that God has laid on Kyle’s heart.

 Grace and Peace,

Pastor Jack
