Our Sunday in Three Parts- Part Two

We went to GranMa and GranPa's house after church to celebrate someones birthday. I wonder who's? Jesse is 11!
Jesse helped GranMa get the meal ready.
He blew his candels out while he talked to Mom on the phone (she was partying somewhere else).
Aunt Sue made a cake. She cut it like a pro and gave everyone a piece.
Suddenly this fuzzy brown creature attacked Andy's head!! Oh wait, that's his hair. He liked the cake.
David liked the cake too.

Square Footage Correction

I asked Coach Ellis tonight at church what the square footage is of the new church building. He said it is about 40,000 square feet! I was a little low in my statement last post.

Our Sunday in Three Parts- Part One

We had our first worship service on Sunday in the new Church building! I got there early to help set up the sound system and get it adjusted. There were a few people there setting up chairs.
The praise team got things started and we had Church. The crowd looked larger than a typical Sunday morning. It was kinda hard to tell in all that space. I believe it's around 22,000 square feet.
This is the group playing the offertory. The guitar players just looked at the keyboard players music because theirs kept blowing away. Before Tony preached, he had everyone get up and go to where their class rooms would be (see Flint's picture below). It sure was a long way from where we were to the babies at the opposite corner of the building.
And here is Pastor Tony teaching. I had adjusted the sound system the best I could but it sounded like we were in a big tin can. Wait, we were! The wind kept blowing into the microphones too. It was an exciting morning and everyone is looking forward to moving into the finished building.

A Picture For Brother Flint

I've been running behind in my blogging of last weekend. But I promised Bro Flint a picture of our Sunday School class so here it is. If you click on the picture it will load full size and you can save that one.

Saturday at the Golf Course

We helped work the golf tournament on Saturday at Mansfield National Golf Course. It was a fund raiser for the Maypearl golf program. We ended up with 14 teams, 2 carts per team.
Here are Lynne, Haden, and Will being taken out to monitor contests on different holes. I went out later to relieve Lynne.
The golfers showed great poise, style, and finesse. Except for this guy.
They fed us burgers after all the golfers finished. They then handed out trophies and had the raffle. Jesse won $15 in gift certificates from The Panthers Den (a burger place in Maypearl). It was a fun day with great weather for golf.

Last Home Game of the Season

We went to Maypearl on Friday night for the last home game of the season. It was senior recognition night so they were introduced before the game. From the football team, cheerleaders, and the band there were 7.
We played the Grandview striped donkeys for the game. Will said we should have made a sign that said, "Please, don't hurt us".
The Grandview band played first at halftime. They were very good as usual.
Then the Maypearl band played. Can you see them?
The main reason we went was so Will could play with the band in the stands during the fourth quarter. The drum section was great.
I think we lost.

Trunk or Treat 2007

Well, after 10 days of hype last night was the Trunk or Treat in the FBC parking lot. Members got there early to set up around the lot.

Instead of setting up downtown this year, the Maypearl Fire Department came to set up in the parking lot with us. They ran the flashy lights all night long.

There were alot of great costumes.






These girls were having fun.

Arg! A pirate baby.







Wow, an Incredible family.




Moo!





The Inman Clan brought this great game. To get candy you had to reach into the nose and pull out a penny. It was full of green spaghetti! Eww!








There were several pets there.






We'll have to get Pipper a bun costume for next year.


OK, we thought this was hilarious. This is Andy's friend Zach (aka: Dee?). He was Mike Vick and his dog. (if ya don't get it ask someone)

And Super David was there, with the power to help! Watch Super Why on channel 13 to understand that one.
And of course the prettiest baby there. Princess Lizzy (or is it a ballerina?)
They went long into the night. But we ran out of candy and went home a little after 8 o'clock. It was a great night and the whole town had fun!

Better late than never. Check out Aunt Sue's photo tag here.

Since today is Hillary Clinton's 60th birthday, I guess I should have put a picture of a witch up today. I guess a couple of old bats will have to do.

8... and Happy Birthday!

Lynne cooked birthday dinner for GrandPa the other night. We celebrated GranPa's, my OLDER Sister's, and my Youngest Niece's birthdays. And for Aunt Sissy, her is Aunt Sue eating the crusty part of the dressing.
Lynne made GranPa a lemon cake with white icing. It was very good.
GranPa blew out his candles and we all enjoyed.
And tonight GranPa is in my backyard trying out the flood lights on his new tractor.

10 Days Till Halloween

It's 10 days till the Trunk or Treat in the First Baptist Maypearl parking lot. We got some cartoons from PaPa so I thought I would share them in a countdown to the big day. I arranged them so that the ones I think are funniest will come last. Enjoy!
