Lazy Daze
August 27, 2005

Lazy Daze was a great opportunity for our church to show the love of Christ to the community. We started early Saturday morning helping vendors set up shop. They appreciated the help and most also accepted a Gospel tract. The hospitality tents were a big hit. It was one of the only place that you could sit in the shade and be served a free cup of water. Over 1300 free plastic tote bags containing scripture, Gospel tracts, and church information were distributed. Kingdom Karnival was also a good opportunity to meet parents as the kids played games and ate cool pops in a safe environment. They also received goodie bags with prizes, New Testaments, and the plan of salvation. We had over 50 volunteers representing our church and we hope that next year will attract even more participation.

Parade of Tables & Silent Auction
August 18, 2005

The Parade of Tables is an expression of Christ’s love through the active involvement of the entire church body in raising funds to meet catastrophic needs. Individuals, Sunday School classes, and other organizations within the church decorate tables and sell tickets to the dinner provided. Table decorations range from the simple to the sublime. Other festivities include an auction and live entertainment, resulting in an evening of warm Christian fellowship and loving ministry.

The 2005 Parade of Tables was sponsored by the Benevolence Ministry, and the proceeds were used to help purchase a specially-built wheelchair for Kevin Schaefer, an eleven-year-old boy with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (who also underwent surgery to insert rods in his spine in July 2005). The net proceeds from that evening were $18,000. To God be the glory!
