Labor Day weekend...

We have had a great Labor Day weekend! As mentioned in our earlier post, it was Chad's birthday and we also had the privilege of having special guests, Connie and Lindsey Bernard. They came in on Friday evening and attended service with us Sunday morning which was our Fifth Sunday Fellowship. We only had the morning service and then had dinner at the church! We had nearly 70 guests with us in service and one received the Holy Spirit for the very first time!! In fact, it is the daughter of the lady who I baptized yesterday. Several of our guests were praying and even refilled with the Spirit. We had a number of our church families out, but the crowd was still just about the same size.

The Bernard's and their church were such a blessing to us while we established the church in Pflugerville. They all opened the arms to us and welcomed us as a part of their church family. It was great getting to welcome them in our church today ! I know they came to hear me preach...or was it really to see that grinning guy above?! They left Sunday afternoon and the grin was gone. :(

Let me introduce you to our new and improved dog! As you can tell, Cookie enjoyed every moment of her new look. The glasses were one of Chad's gag gifts from the Bernard's, but Cookie just seemed to look fantastic in them. :-)

As you can tell, we are enjoying a relaxed Labor Day weekend and so excited about what God is doing in our midst. Have a great holiday.
