Teresa's formal

The formal this year was held at the Monticello hotel and was a big sucess. The formal lasted until 11 and then they went bowling and then spent the night at Helena Amerine's house. She said it was great. See the pictures below.

Quilt in a day for Caring pregnancy center

On February 10th 2007 Teresa and I are teaching a quilting class for making baby blankets for the caring pregnancy center. The inspiration for this was from our previous church and a lady named Vi Snow who taught us some quilting designs and helped us make blankets for the same cause. We currently have 13 signed up. Teresa is going to teach one design and I will teach a log cabin design. We have purchased some cute material and made our demo quilts. Now we need to cut the material so we are more likely to finish in a day. I got some more material today at an estate sale if more people sign up. The ideal amount of people will be between 13-18 I think. I hope it won't be too confusing to do two quilts at once.

The morning watch

I am so thankful to be a part of a church that challenges us to grow closer to God and gives us the tools and opportunities to do so. One such tool this year is the morning watch. Many churches in the area are meeting at our church for a time of pray, praise and repentance from 5-6 a.m. for thirty days in January. It is a challenge to clear our schedule of unnecessary activities and distractions such as TV and focus on hearing God and praying and repenting for sins as individuals, as the church and as a city and nation. it has been a wonderful time of meeting together with God and other believers. It has been challenging as things are brought to the surface that need repentance for. And encouraging as promises and prophecies are spoken out. Time will tell what God is doing but we pray that this will make a difference in our lives and our city and nation. We want to see a move of God. We're already seeing a move of God for over 125 people to consistantly meet for prayer at that hour every morning, despite snow, ice or rain. It is neat to see churches working and meeting together. Come Lord Jesus and heal our land is our prayer.

Since we have been going to bed earlier I haven't had much time to blog. I will try to get a few more posts in soon.
