Well, here it is..the update to our "Easter Funtastic" outreach. A big thank you to those who prayed for us. The Lord answered in a mighty way! It was a beautiful sunny day with over 300 people in attendance. Praise the Lord! The majority of people were not from our church. It was exciting to see invited school friends & neighbors too. It was a fun filled 1 1/2 hours.
We started with facepainting & balloon animals then added a "Lollieman" chase (see the photos), followed by a juggling act, fun sing-a-longs, a ventriloquist who shared the story of the three trees, a massive candy filled egg hunt & water balloon games. In between these events, the kids enjoyed more face painting, balloon animals & cooled off with free icy poles. Adult (guest) door prizes (chocolate!) were also a big hit. To be in the drawing, adults filled out an interest questionnaire. They were asked to tick any of the listed topics they would like to know more about. Some of the topics of interest: How to find the right church for my family; How to forgive & receive forgiveness from others; Activities for single parents; Basic computer skills; How to relate to my teenager.... Matthew is now trying to fast track some of these needs with the right church people connection & a few workshops in the new future that can also meet these needs. We have been blessed & hope you will be too as you read this & watch the slide show. Wishing you all a joyous Resurrection Weekend!
