Founders Festival Parade

Saturday was the Founders Festival. We had a float in the parade again....and although it was rather hot, we enjoyed being in the parade and passing out gospel tracks to those in the community. The parade route was shortened this year, which was better...but the wait to get started felt like it was forever...probably because it was 90 degrees :) Hannah did a great job and loved being a part of the parade. She walked the whole way and happily passed out tracks to everyone that she could. The theme this year was beach party...so we all wore beach clothes and our float was a big wave that shared the verse:

John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Ready to share life savers and Jesus with Farmington


After the parade we were at church passing out free water and sharing more tracks and info about the church (including kids kamp and outdoor service invites) for the afternoon. We moved kids kamp this year to the week right after the festival. We are praying that many unsaved kids and families will come to kids kamp as a result. It's always neat to see the church come together to serve. It was a full and exhausting day, but we pray that the Lord will bless the work of the many who were involved.
