What gorgeous weather we enjoyed when we made pinatas for the harvest party! After hot dogs & chips, it was time to get to work.
Put strips of paper, flour, water, balloons, and some kids together and you get a really big mess! But you could also come out with some awesome pinatas! And we did–4 to be exact. After they dry, they’ll be ready for painting.
After pinata making it was time to enjoy some ice cream cones. Some of the kids decided mud pies would be fun to make, as well.
We had such a great day on our Anniversary Sunday September 4! A small instrumental ensemble of Piano, Bass Guitar, Xylophone, Flute, Trombone, and Trumpet played “Amazing Grace” for the offertory. It sounded very nice. Then after worship we headed over to Ray Warner’s backyard for our annual and very yummy Fried Turkey Fellowship. One woman accepted Christ as Savior while we were preparing for baptism! God is so good!
CJ Crain, Bethany Gedeon, Paula Kairnes, and Dominic Ponce were baptized at our last fellowship of the summer! Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support! We are so thankful for you!
Don & Marie Wilbanks have come to help us with the construction! What a blessing! Pictured are several workdays we have had at the church. Most of what you see is done has been volunteer work! God has graciously blessed the efforts of these workers! See more pictures and new updates at our church website. “So they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ Then they set their hands to this good work.” Nehemiah 2:18, “So we built the wall, . . . for the people had a mind to work.” Nehemiah 4:6
God has been so good to us! Celebrating 9 years at Beacon, we opened with Sunday School and the Worship Hour, during which an instrumental ensemble (piano, bass guitar, xylophone, flute, trombone, and trumpet) played “Amazing Grace” for the offertory. Then we all changed clothes and headed over to Ray Warner’s backyard for our annual Turkey Fry. 5 fried turkeys, 3 varieties of stuffing, a giant batch of green bean cassarole, and cake and ice cream were just the “tip of the iceberg . . .” We had such a yummy meal! Then, after it settled a little, four people were baptized, and one person prayed to accept Jesus Christ as Savior! We also enjoyed sitting around and chatting and playing volleyball & horseshoes. Some of the youth enjoyed the pool, while others enjoyed making mud pies. What a great day! You can see more pictures of the baptisms on the Baptisms page.
