We had a very busy day yesterday. Our Hispanic outreach at the park went well. After a slight problem with the grill and a trip to Lowe's, our men repaired the grill and Norman began cooking. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and served about 90 people at the soccer tournament. In addition to giving the soccer players and their families free food, we gave them free Spanish Bibles and had conversations with some of the families, especially the kids.
After the outreach, we had about a 30 minute break before we started decorating for VBS. We enjoyed time of fellowship with the members of WCBC as we prepared the building for the kids to arrive Sunday afternoon.
George, Randy and Daniel spent their afternoon checking various tasks off the Cannadas' "Honey Do" list. They repaired the back door in the sanctuary, added a leg to the ping pong table, fixed the air hockey table, patched a kangaroo tail for VBS, and began working on the chair lift to see why it wasn't working. They were quite busy attempting to finish the entire list in one afternoon. They came close!
After dinner, we spent some time celebrating Independence Day with Norman and Debbie. Last year, we started what seems to have become a tradition of enjoying ice cream and watching fireworks. So we went to Maggie Moo's (which is like Coldstone Creamery) and thoroughly enjoyed our treat and talking with each other. We saw a few fireworks, but most of the show was cancelled because of rain.
We're ready for VBS to begin and ask that you pray with us for the children and leaders each day this week. Snack supper for VBS begins at 4:30 and VBS will be from 5-8pm.
We're praying for VBS and can't wait to see what God is doing in Charleston!
