Last Evening

Good morning everyone! I don't know about you, but I was just blown away with the great evening we had with the Concert last night! I had heard Woody perform before, but he and his lovely wife Vonnie really out did themselves for us! Anyone who missed that really lost out on a wonderful evening. I was so impressed with this great couple who were so down to earth, humble, and so talented. In my private conversations with them, they said they wish our Church was 30 miles closer to them as they would certainly be attending Hinkle Creek Friends! I invited them to come and worship with us anytime they wanted and our Church could serve as a quiet retreat from their busy lives and we wouldn't even ask them to do anything - just come and be a part of our Church Family. They genuinely appreciate that invitation and asked what time our services started. People of that caliber need to be able to come to a "safe place" where they can just get off the world for a while and enjoy all that we do. I want us to be their "new friends" and hopefully they will come soon and join us. Thank you to everyone who helped to contribute both financially and with desserts to make it such a successful evening! Some people who reserved tickets didn't make it, so we fell about $120.00 short of our sales, but what a small amount for our Church to pay for such a wonderful outreach and wonderful concert. Thank you to Jeff and Mike for sharing their beautiful gifts of music to add so much to the evening! I felt like a proud parent having them both bring such beautiful music! Thank you Kelly for engineering all of this for us. You did an outstanding job of pulling it all off!!! Hopefully we can have them back again someday and we will have a larger attendance. Woke up this morning with my head just full of the memories from last evening and had to put it in writing! Forgive me for rambling! LOL!
