So, our church had a Block Party on Easter Sunday. I think it was very successful. We estimate that there was around 200 people throughout the day and we served lunch to about 100. There was a nice mix of people there. We had college students and Indy Rockers along with the local people from the neighborhood. There was a story about it on the local 11:00 news and a front page article in the paper. The article in the paper mentioned God or Jesus 7 times and beer once. The beer mention got the debate. It was a long day, but worth it.

God has a good sense of humor. Yesterday, we, the existing Harmony Church members, were hoping and praying for new people to come to church. We had at least 3 new people. There were two others I didn't recognize so maybe 5 new people. We average about 20-30 people in worship each Sunday. So 3 to 5 new people is a good thing. God answered our prayers. The thing is, none of the new people were there because of the Block Party or the coverage of the Block Party. I guess God wants to make sure we know that He will provide for our growth. We need to remember to give thanks and glory to God, even when He does things His way and not ours.
