A God Thing!

My last posting talked about Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras and Carnival. I suggested that it might be a good idea for some churches in Graham go band together to present an event that might touch upon the human “needs” that people try to satisfy at Mardi Gras, Carnival, etc.

Does God read this blog? Did God use this blog to prepare me (and Evergreen) for something that he had in mind? Here is what happened…

Wednesday afternoon I received a phone call from the Senior Pastor at Graham Emmanuel Baptist Church (GEBC). Jim is a great guy. Our churches already partner with the Graham Evangelical Covenant Church for our Easter Sunrise Service. Last year GEBC hosted an event for the Graham community call Graham Jam. They rented the local fair grounds for a day in July. Graham Jam had Christian concerts, games, and activities for all ages. It was a HUGE success. In fact, it appears to have been so successful it was overwhelming. GEBC is looking to partner with three other churches in Graham for Graham Jam 2008 (July 12). They are looking for prayer support and people to help run various activities. They are looking at shouldering the majority of the expenses (they are by far the largest church in Graham). What a wonderful way to try and make a positive impact on our community!

Pending Session approval we will be involved in Graham Jam 2008!
