Beautiful

God has been blessing our church immensely. On Monday we had a Valentine's banquet. We had a ton of people show up and they all had a great time. The policy was that the men would do everything. They cooked, served, and cleaned up. It was quite a surprise to our ladies that we were actually able to function in the kitchen. (Hopefully they won't start expecting anything:) We also had entertainment from one of our newer members, Alvin, who has an interesting talent. He is a magician. He wowed everybody with his deft hands and quick witt! During his show he grew a following of men. You can see Ronnie in the back smiling. It was a wonderful night.
There have been amazing things going on with the youth group also. I took seven kids to Altus last weekend for a youth rally. We all had such a great time. The fellowship was wonderful, and I truly enjoyed just hanging out with my teens without having any responsibility.
We are also doing the Relay for Life in May. Last night we got started on all of our fundraising ideas. The teens are so excited about it all. We delegated responsibilities last night and are starting the raising of money to support cancer victims. It is turning into such an amazing bonding experience for everyone and it is really getting everybody involved, especially the girls.
The ski trip is shaping up well, and it looks like we are going to have a great group in March. WE might even have as many as 40 people coming from a church of 100. To me that is amazing.
