First Chuch Of God Centennial Celebraiton! September 30-31

 
 

Hello! It's been a few days since I've posted, but I've finally found time to post. This last weekend has been REALLY busy at our church lately getting ready for our centennial celebration!  Here's the events we attended this weekend:
 
On Saturday night, we had a singing in our sanctuary.  All of the old pastors from the years past came back, and sang a few songs for us. 
This is half of the Centennial Choir
 
This is our old youth pastor, Michal Mattocks.  His family has gone through some really hard times a few years ago.  He became really sick, and they didn't know what it was, until two years ago.  They have two sweet boys now, and live in Colorado. We see the family every once in a while, and we love them very much!
 
 This is our current pastor, Andrew Rebein.
 
 
The man on the left is an old pastor, Brother Gable.  He became the pastor a little while after we started attending there.  He is a very sweet man, and really funny!

Then on Sunday, we had one combined service that morning.  Then that night, we had a big celebration out on our new church property.

We took  our friend's little son, Keegan, that night.  Isn't he handsome? : )
 

He loved playing on the playtoy that looked like Noah's Ark
 
 

We stopped the swing so we could get a better shot.

The church bought a bunch of glow sticks, and Keegan loved them!  



We ended the great evening with a beauiful firework show.

The funniest thing happened that night when the fireworks started.  I've never seen a baby fall asleep during fireworks!

Even though it was a great evening, I still know that we won't have many more left... 
We are visiting more and more churches lately, and I'm still having hesitating thoughts about this.  I don't know about you, but Satan has been attacking our friends and family a lot lately.

Please keep praying for our family.  I would really appreciate it! : )
Also keep praying for the leaders of our church.  That the Lord will open thier eyes, and turn it  all around!
 
Thank you again for the listening ear!
