Wow, Friend Day was a blast!
First, WCCC had its best attendance ever, 228 people! Our previous record was 197. We had people from out of town and from down the street. Friends, family, co-workers and neighbors all came and enjoyed our service.
The gift bags went over well. We gave away 30 stepping stones (inscribed with "Welcome Friend" on front with a picture of various birds and "Wyandotte County Christian Church" on back). About 35 gift bags were given away. They included pens, gum, candy, church brochures and other miscellaneous stuff. A big thank you needs to go to Pat Meza. She did a tremendous amount of work to get those bags put together. John Foley also did a lot of leg work to get the pens and the bags themselves. Thank you guys!
Dewey Bond joined the church and he gave his testimony. Wow. The Holy Spirit really worked through his story to affect a lot of hearts Sunday. We were all moved by his thoughts on the importance of a church family in his life.
The sermon seemed well received and the worship was fantastic! We had a funny episode with a bell that went off in the middle of Jarod's special music but no harm done.
Several people stayed after the service for coffee (which we actually ran out of) and donuts. My Sunday School class had about 40 minutes of Q&A with many of our guests listening in and even participating. We talked about euthanasia and Terri Schiavo, evangelism, and why bad things happen, among other topics.
Overall, it was a tremendous day!
