Whew! We've had a VERY busy weekend! Thought y'all might be interested in what we were up to....
Last night (Saturday night) our church passed out free bottled water and VBS brochures/tracts at the Shrewsbury Firemans' Carnival. We were supposed to be there from 6:00 p.m. to midnight, but we ended up running out of bottles around 10 p.m.!
We passed out approximately 500 water bottles and 200 brochures! The waters especially helped us connect with people as it was a BOILING HOT day. A few people even said that they are looking for a church and might come visit ours sometime. Praise the Lord!
Today we were privileged to have the Fueller family minister in our church during the AM service. We support the Fuellers and enjoyed getting a field update from them! By the way, for all you Falls folks, Mrs. Ruth Fueller is the daughter of the Virtues (a missionary that Falls supports).
After the service we took the Fuellers to lunch....can you guess where we took them? :)
We also just got home from a VBS Canvassing Blitz during the PM service (sorry, I didn't get pics!). Several church members showed up to help us pass out VBS flyers around our church's neighborhood. Afterwards, we came back to the church and had ice cream!
Please pray that the Lord will use the flyers in 2 ways:
1. To help get kids out for VBS!
2. To get the gospel out--each brochure bag contains a gospel tract and a church brochure as well.
Pray also as we prepare our float for the parade next weekend! There is much work to be done, but we are encouraged that our church people are willing to help out. I'll try to post pics of the parade sometime next weekend. We appreciate your prayers!
Wow, you sure have been busy! I hope I can come visit your church someday... it sounds like you Burtts have a neat ministry going there! :-) God bless!
