Thanks so much for your prayers for Celebration Day.  It was absolutely wild, but it was amazing.  Last year we had about 300 for this special day,  and I thought we would have just a few more than last year.  Our people really worked in getting people to the service.  We had well over 500 present.  There were 300 children and more than 200 adults.  To be honest, it was a little difficult with all of the children, but God blessed in spite of the noise.  The youth acted out the story of the prodigal son.  They broke it up into 5 different segments.  I preached in between each segment.  It was wonderful.  We had 10 people come forward for salvation.

We invited everybody to return that night, and we had about 130.  I gave the invitation and tons of children and teens raised their hands.  I told them that if they were serious to stay after the service.  Some left, but about 25 stayed and accepted Jesus.  What an amazing day.  I am so proud  of our people.  They worked hard, and God blessed.  I don’t know what else to say but PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!
