  • This week Sam Gates was home on Spring Break from Stevens College in New Jersey and brought some of her friends home with her. She brought 2 of them (MARISSA, MARY) with her Tuesday night.
  • Merritt Hunt came with her friend HOLLAND.
  • Elaine had 3 friends with her - SHELBY, KELSEY,  and STEPHANIE.
  • CHUCK brought DAVE.
  • Lauren and Lindsay Powell have been bringing their friend BRYANNA
Why am I telling you this?
Because I think it's a great thing. I'm glad they want to share it with their friends. I'm glad they feel enough ownership in the ministry to try and plug others into it. I think it's a good way for them to share their faith with their friends through actions instead of words. Sometimes kids are reluctant to invite friends to a church service and this can be an alternative
I talk to them a lot about Andrew, and how, after meeting Jesus, he immediately went and got his brother Peter and brought him to meet him. I let them know one of the best things they can do is invite someone to come join them when they serve God and others.


Towards the end of the 2nd stop, we ran out of plates. We brought 90, a couple of people at 2nd stop threw theirs away before getting seconds, and we probably used a couple for other reasons, so what that means is we probably fed close to 85-90 folks. We were serving in cups and empty pie pans at the end. Seeing that many this time of the year is a pretty good indicator that we'll the summer numbers will probably be over 100 each week.
No worries. God is faithful and generous. He has yet to fail us.


Glad to see Daylight Savings time get here. My mood improves when it stays light outside longer. Always has.


'Bout ready to do hot dogs and cheesesburgers soon.


We're going to do FISHFRY soon and I was wondering how our crowd would react if we took butcher's paper and rolled it up like a cone and served the fish and hushpuppies in that. No reason other than just to do something different, although they could walk away with it and eat as they went. Which is kinda cool. You can use newspaper but some of them would probably not go for that. I could see the whole thing being a big fiasco, although,.....
