Record Setting Attendance

Yesterday was our first double service Sunday on a "nothing special going on" day. It wasn't Christmas or Easter so we were actually worried that we would have like 80 in the first service and like 2 in the second. (Jeff had a dream that happened!) The day was phenomenal! Total attendance was 125! We have never had that many on just a "normal" day. We were very excited. Our worship music is just awesome, especially since Shawn has come our way,(more about Shawn on a later post- there is quite a lot to say about him!) and EVERY week we have at least one new couple/family there! Yesterday we had one of each. We were exhausted when church finished at noon, but we then went to Steak and Shake with Shawn and Rachael, I then ran to Walmart, came home and found my neighbors outside. I talked to them for quite awhile and finally went inside to realize that company was coming in 20 minutes. A young single guy name Ryan and Shawn and Rachael were coming over to watch basketball. I had to hurry to get my house looking in order. I didn't do much- as with good friends I am not trying to impress. I made white chicken chili for us all to eat. Throughout the course of the evening pool was played, wedding invites were made and Jenna's hair was dyed! (by Shawn!- I will include that story when I tell you all about Shawn and Rachael later-hopefully tonight.) S & R left around 10 and I realized that I hadn't even brought my school bag in from the trunk of the van from Friday! Oh well...I decided to blow it off this weekend...only 9 weeks to go- 45 more days! But, who's counting! :)
