New Freedom Fest

Each year our community holds a "New Freedom Fest," which is basically a street fair with food, craft vendors, games, live music, etc.  This year our church took advantage of the opportunity and set up a food tent.  We gave away 400 free hot dogs and water bottles, along with tracts and church literature.  We made a lot of great contacts and are praying that the Lord will bless the seed that was sown! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We set up the tents at the end of our parking lot...

 

Little Katie was our "free hot dogs" announcer :)

 

 

 

First Night of Patch Club

Our theme in Patch Club this year is "The Armor of God."  I divided the kids into two teams and we had a relay to see who could be the first to create a complete set of armor. The trick, however, was to incorporate ALL of the items that I gave them. It was so fun to watch!

 

 

Cupcake-Themed Bridal Shower

I organized a bridal shower for a girl in our church who is getting married next month.  She loves to bake cupcakes, so we worked a "cupcake-theme" into our shower...

 

Flowers made from cupcake liners!

 

I made this little gift for the bride: Cupcakes made from dish towels!
