Getting started

Well after the shock of Kimberly and Clay saying they would help to rebuild the church I decided to call other inactive members to see what was happening in their lifes. One family, which is now four families since all the kids have grown up, said they would be back as well. The first sunday I called a business meeting to see what the church wanted to do. We had $250 dollars to work with and everyone said they wanted a sign for the church. I don't know what kind of a sign we can get for that kind of money but everyone is looking. We also decided to hold a church fellowship to remember what the church has done in the past and thank God for another year. We are going to call it the "Hobo Lunch" in honor of how this church was started. See, way back in 1949 those traveling workers called hobo's would come into town on the freight trains and work in the Fort Worth Stockyards for awhile before moving on. The church started to provide a place for them to worship since the existing churches didn't reach out to them. Now Founders Day is actually on May 13 but that is so close to Mothers Day that we decided it wouldn't work for this event. Soooo, a new date was chosen, the first sunday in February, to honor our begginnings. I am having a couple of signs made that say "Free Lunch" and anyone that wants to come in can eat what food we prepare without worrying about paying for it. Oh yes, we are making a cookbook with recipies based on what the Hobo's may have eaten back in the forties and fifties.

Dear God, thank you for sending a few workers our way,
Help us to continue and do what is right in your eyes.
Amen
