Princesses and Cowboys!

I don't yet have pictures of our Cowboys, but they're coming! Both the Princesses and the Cowboys had such special evenings last night!! It was a movie night/special event to remember, and again I thank everyone who played a part!

Here are pictures from the Sweetpea Beauty evening!

At 7pm, the princesses of all ages starting arriving by "carriage." You should have seen their sweet, glowing faces!






We had snacks, thanks to the Tuesday morning LIFT ladies!!





And we had four stations, with fingernail painting, crafts, and coloring pages. Thank you Robin and Shelby for painting Princess nails!



































We dined while serenaded to Princess music :) Oh it was fun.





Princesses come in all ages you know! Thank you to Miss Kay for helping me host refreshments and clean up!

















Then we all went to the "royal palace" where Florentina had worked her decorating magic.





The girls got to come up on stage and watch two tales of princesses who learned about that true beauty is within and they are God's priceless creation.

It was a good night!! :)

Ash Wednesday

Last night we had a bustling sanctuary as our youth, children, babies, and adults gathered for an Ash Wednesday service. Pastor Nikki lead us as we wrote our sins on paper, burned them at the altar, and then were marked with the ashes. What a beautiful, tangible display of the cleansing Christ offers, and the unity of being one as a family.

It was beautiful.

As we've entered the Lenten season, turn your hearts to Christ. Let Him search you, cleanse you, and let this be a season of faithful, deliberate focus on our savior.

Lent/ Focus 40

Today's the beginning of Lent; join us at 6:30 this evening for an Ash Wednesday service. Search your hearts for something you can give up in trade for clearer focus on our Savior's sacrifice. Starting today, or join us starting 3/16 for Focus40.
