Easter Things and Prayer Request

Corey and I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter, we sure did. We enjoyed a wonderful Easter service at Fairford Free Christian, where the Holy Spirit was truely moving.
We also enjoyed hosting a community Easter egg hunt and party for the whole community and had right between 40 and 50 children and adults come, not to bad for our first one. We had a lot of fun, and over loaded on sugar, and took time to remember the reason for Easter by reading "The Three Trees", a great story about allowing God to use you no matter waht your plans for your life might be.
We also, just this past saturday night had a community meal and Bingo night and had a little over 20 folks show up. We had a Big Ham, and lots of fixing, provided by the people in the community, and everyone loved playing Bingo for some fun prizes.

Please be praying for...

The families here in the community several of them are going through some rough stuff,within the family, and some of it involves legal matters.

Our SOUL summer staff, Will Allen, Bryce Kincaid, Sterling Brown, Callie Eller, Lyndsey Wall, Edna Stuart, and Katie Brintle, that they will stay safe, and that they will be able to plan things out for this summer with wisdom and the leading of the Holy Spirit. And for the groups that are planning on bringing groups down for a week of SOUL.

Thanks to everyone who reads this blog... and keeps us in their prayers.

Basketball Tournament

Here is a picture of our Bball Tournament Winners - Old Skool




The center held its fourth Basketball Tournament that past Saturday. We had around 14 teams with all but a few having four players on the team.

The youth group helped with keeping time, score, and with the food sells. We did pretty well as far as selling food goes, and everyone seemed to enjoy the nachos, hot dogs, pickles, popcorn, and assorted candy and chips.

The winners of this tournament were by far the oldest winners, and their team name appropriately being "Old Skool".







Also please being praying about some of our upcoming activities like.....

Our community Easter Egg Hunt and Party this saturday. We have invited every church in the area and everyone in the community. It should be a lot of fun....

We also have our BIG Benefit Dinner coming up on May 9. We are asking for folks in the community who are involved with the center to donate a side dish, dessert or drinks to go with our BBQ Chicken, and things are looking good right now.

Things are going well and God is really blessing us here, we have really had to trust on Him the last week, it has been hard... but it has been a wonderful and exciting time.
