What a Weekend!

Sometimes I find the hardest thing about writing posts is starting them...so, I will just start from the beginning! (Good place to start, huh?) Last Saturday the spanish service came out to help us with an outreach for the following Sunday services. We had Mario Owens coming in the morning to preach and we were showing a movie Sunday night. We passed a lot flyers out and prayed with 8 people for salvation! After that was done we went back to the church for some lunch. We all piled into the headstart classroom and sat in the tiny chairs for some sandwhiches and chicken! After all that was over, we pried ourselves from the chairs (literally), and started cleaning up, then headed home to get ready for the next day.
The Next day, Mario, DeAnza and the kids came out for the service that morning. Tina and Jason Farrell and their family were also in town so they brought some relatives and stayed for the service. We had 6 visitors that morning and a total of around 32 people! Tanya, Kenadee and Kobey also came up from Springs for our very first baby dedication that morning with Joe and Stephy and their baby girl Ashlyn. We had song service and Mario preached a wonderful message and then pulled the altar call. We had two people get saved that morning! After the service we all headed to Applebees for some lunch, and then over to my house to just lay around and watch football and soccer until the evening service. That night we arrived at the church ready to set up for the hotdogs and movie only to find the power was out in the church, and in most of the neighborhood too. People started coming anyways and we kept on setting up and decided that if the power didn't come back on we'd just grill some hotdogs and hang out. It is true what they say...if there's food, they'll come! :) The power did come back on after a while so we got the building warmed up and everything was set up for the movie. We ate some hot dogs and chips, then after a short song service we started the movie. We had 10 visitors come out and we all had fun and were able to witness to people through out the night.
I apologize for some of the pictures...I forgot the camera that night so I had to use the cell phone to take pictures...some of them are kind of grainy. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. God is still moving here in Denver and we're excited for the things we have planned for the coming months! I'll give you an update soon and let you know what's going on!
