We spent a rather frigid night in the church. Bailey and I were up before six, because we just couldn't take it (the cold) any longer. (Turns out the heat was off. Ooops.) I guess next time we will know better. Shortly after, the rest of the crew was up and going.
While cooking breakfast, Max came in and promptly told us they had a visitor in their room last night....don't worry it was just a mouse in the ceiling. He and Brandon just decided to sleep outside the room. That way the mouse couldn't get them...
Breakfast=delicious! As we were eating, Sara went upstairs to see if anyone was around. She did find the sound guy who did not know we were staying at the church. Needless to say he was a little surprised.
At 8:30 West Gate Assembly had its drive in church service. Sara helped hand out donuts and coffee to the attendees. Max helped Art hand out programs. Brandon helped with sound. Bailey and I made ourselves useful by visiting and capturing the experience on video. We did get to attend the drive in service. It was very interesting. The message was very good. It was about being planted firmly in the Word of God. Very challenging. The preacher was actually a candidate for the senior pastor position at the church. West Gate's pastor recently passed away.
After drive in church, we attended the inside church service as well. The church had a full choir....it was amazing! Again the pastor candidate spoke. He did a great job. After the service, the church had a short business meeting to vote on whether they should hire the pastor candidate. And they decided he's in! I think they got a good one.
After lunch, we cleaned the church. We vacuumed the sanctuary, organized a craft closet, disinfected toys, mopped the mini cafe area, and vacuumed other parts of the building.....it's a big church.
About 5 we headed to Wal-Mart to get a few things for Night Strike and breakfast. After Wal-Mart, we headed to the YMCA to take a much needed shower. We got to the door and guess what....it was closed. So we did not shower....we will appreciate it even more tomorrow!
Until next time....
