Tonight was the annual "bring-a-friend" tea at Life Tabernacle. It was a great success. 
Special thanks to Priscilla Venegas and her crew that put the whole thing together. It was beautifully decorated and everything was wonderful.
Our theme this year was: "The Finer Things in Life - Friends & Chocolate" (thanks for the idea, Tracie). Of course, with that theme you know we had to have chocolate - and lots of it. There were chocolate cupcakes,
a chocolate fountain,
mocha punch, hot chocolate, and I don't know what else. LOL!
Of course, we also had sandwiches, meatballs, fruit, muffins, iced tea & hot tea to balance out all the chocolate we were consuming. We had five doorprizes - three of which were boxes of Godiva Chocolates. The other two were devotional books entitled "Hugs for Chocolate Lovers."
Joseph Ouellette organized a group of men to take care of the serving so that all the ladies could enjoy themselves. Thank you to him and the guys that came to help!!! And thank you to the young ladies who came to take care of the kids so the mothers could relax and have a great time.
As part of the program, Veronica Eddie had some readings she shared having to do with friendship.
And Kassie Dutton sang a beautiful song about the best friend you could ever have.
Stacey Shaw was our speaker for the evening.
She did an incredible job. She spoke on the ingredients of friendship - comparing them to the ingredients that go into making a chocolate cake. She ended up by talking about the friend we have in Jesus Christ. Stacey is a very close friend of mine, and I was overjoyed that she and her daughter, Brooke, were able to come.
I am very thankful for the lives that were touched by Life Tabernacle tonight. There was a sweet presence of God as we were closing, and I'm quite sure I saw tears on some faces of those in attendance. Only God knows what is accomplished through these events.
