Cruisin' to Glory


We had a great day at the Cruisin' to Glory Classic Car Show. I hope that you enjoyed the outside event. The weather was great! I heard a lot of positive comments on how much you enjoyed the service being outside and would like to share with you the changes we made, goals we had set and the outcomes.



- An outside Sunday morning service that would involve the car participants. How did you feel? It felt like our guests were included in the service since they could hear the service from where their cars were parked. I thought the testimonies were great.

- Serving our guests with no strings attached. The car participants were provided a free breakfast and t-shirt along with a gift bag. The winners of each car class won trophies. We were able to cover a lot of our costs through money donated from sponsors. What was neat was that some of the car participants wanted to give a donation back to the car show.

- Provide opportunities throughout the day for ministry. The prayer tent was a big hit. Several people wanted prayer to receive physical healing. Two red bags were picked up from car participants. Praise God! That was awesome! That made all the hard work that goes into the service and car show worthwhile.

- To make it fun for all ages. Children's ministry offered a different venue for the service with singing and a movie. After the service, the kids played games and the helicopter drop was a big hit again. I hope you got to see the kids run after the candy. It was fun to see.



Thanks to all of you who volunteered your time at the car show. I appreciate all of the effort that you put into it. What do you think? I think that God was honored.
