After a great dinner together following church, we all headed over to Wickford Lanes and bowled. It was so much fun to play together as a church! This was technically the youth activity, so the children and teens bowled free, and the adults paid $5.00 each to bowl if they so desired. We are thrilled to report that Beacon Church filled that bowling alley.
We are so thankful for the children and teens here at Beacon! God has really blessed us! Words can’t express how impressed we were with the youth as they presented the Christmas story from God’s Word in such a beautiful way! Then they quickly changed and sang for us! After Pastor Bill’s sermon on “A Wise Approach to Christmas,” we had a delicious ham dinner and played games. What a great day! Praise the Lord!
Thanksgiving means we are giving thanks to God for His many blessings and provisions for us. God is SO good! We had a special Thanksgiving service on November 18, 2012 followed by an Outreach Dinner. One of our members raised and donated fresh turkeys, then Saturday the 17th some of our church guys helped them corral and slaughter them. A group decorated. Another group “shopped & chopped.” So many of our church folks came together to provide this outreach meal, and for them we are VERY thankful!
We would also like to thank Stamp Farms for their donations of pumpkins and gourds, Schartner Farms for their donations of potatoes, carrots, and other goodies, and Dave’s Market and Stop & Shop for their donations to help us to put this meal on for the community.
So, pictured together are Saturday’s “prep” and Sunday’s service and dinner. Thanks again to everyone who gave and worked so hard! To God be the glory, and Happy Thanksgiving!
This year’s Harvest Party was such a blast because we had it at our new church building! We had so much extra room and a ton of fun!! Lots of food, hot spiced and cold cider, carmel apples, and of course, the Pie Baking Contest! It was a close call once again with so many delicious entries. This year the 5 winning ladies took home gift cards to the new Hobby Lobby!!
We played games like musical chairs, ping pong, and basketball. We also had a quick game of manhunt before it was time for pinatas! After the kids got their “loot,” they came in and started “trading sessions” until we gathered in a circle for a devotion and a sing-a-long. Even though we couldn’t have our campfire and roast marshmallows because it was raining, we had a WONDERFUL time together. We’re so thankful for God’s goodness to us!
