4th of July Weekend

Whew! What a 4th of July weekend! Sunday morning was full of festivities at the Baptist Temple in Ft. Worth, Texas. After Sunday school and the morning service, we enjoyed a delicious dinner on the grounds. Immediately after lunch, the afternoon service kicked off with a mini concert by yours truly, the Champion Baptist Ensemble, and was followed by a short sermon by Pastor Ingleman. After the service was dismissed, we blazed a trail down the road to spend our evening service with Pastor Fisher and the Longvue Baptist Church. Every sermon that was preached that day reminded us of our great freedoms; not only our physical freedoms because of the great country we live in, but also our spiritual freedoms that God has blessed us with. It was definitely an awesome 4th of July that was finished off with a beautiful fireworks display! - Wednesday evening we were in Burnet, Texas at Victory Baptist Church with Pastor Wiggins. The sweet spirit of the people there allowed the Lord to work in the service and He spoke to many hearts. - Today we drove to San Antonio and spent some time touring the Alamo and walking along the Riverwalk. It has been beautiful despite the hot Texas weather :-) Here are a few pics for you to enjoy...

Brian Boothe, a Champion graduate, and his dad are starting a church in Marble Falls, TX. We decided to stop by to see how progress is coming on their new building.

This is Jorge, he attended the camp that we were at last week. Because he lives nearby, he and his sister drove up to see us on Sunday morning.
