Anniversary Weekend

This week we had our church’s 92nd Anniversary Weekend!! This is a huge event in our church every year!! We had 2 days worth of festivities! Everything started on Saturday with a carnival for the kids. We usually have between 400 and 500 people there! There is a service to tell people how they can go to Heaven someday, followed by a boxing match with the devil. Then the kids and parents are given sack lunches and turned loose in the carnival! On Sunday, we had our regular service, followed by dinner on the grounds. At 5, there is a gospel music concert, followed by our victory service. We play games and have a good time!
Overall we had around 800 people there. It is a ton of work, but totally worth it!! I am so glad that I go to a church that reaches out to the community and tells others that Jesus is the answer!
