Anything to draw a crowd...

This past Sunday we had our worship service outside at the city park in Boone. I hold an outside service every year that i call Friendship Sunday. It is a day when we encourage all of our people to bring a friend and then we have a potluck picnic to follow. I was really surprised that our attendance was one of our lowest (maybe the absolute lowest) in all of 2008. We did have a great time though.

This is a picture of yours truly sitting in the dunk tank. You would never believe how COLD the water was! Unbelievable!!! My associate took his turn next and he agreed it was freezing! The kids just love to play, and we let several of them get dunked as well.

If you are a pastor and reading this, you should understand how good it is for your congregation to see you in this light sometimes. Pastors are not above their congregations. It is ok to be laughed at sometimes. Be willing to get wet for Jesus!!!
