Wow, What a night....

Okay guys, it's been about 27 hours since we put the lid on the best family event we've ever done. All I can say is.....thanks. I really don't know what else to say. Thanks to the team that put it together, thanks to the parents who brought their kids, and thanks to the kids who gave up a Friday night to come hang out at church. Oh, and a HUGE thank you to Emma, McKenzie, Issac, Julia, Zachary, Jacob, and the rest of the youth that helped out.

Awesome....don't know what else to say.

I don't have any pics yet, cause I never even got to pick up my camera. Luckily Ethan Moore (shout out to GetReelOnline ) and Steph Helton took a few.....so if they send me some, I'll put them on here. I know E has already Facebooked a few so if your a friend of his you can check them out there.

Congratulations to Annie Odum!!! She was the winner of the basketball goal, and I hope she and her sister have a great time with it! I had just had the pleasure of meeting Annies father moments before the drawing. He wanted to apologize for slipping out early, but "they wanted to spend some family time together before it got late". If you're reading this Mr. Odum, or any other dad, we WANT you to spend family time together, that is our whole goal with family ministry. Even if that time is instead of "church".

I haven't totaled our numbers yet, but were guessing we had 75 to 80 kids and parents come out to see what the fuss was about. For the last free Friday night, football games, and school orientations everywhere......that's amazing. I hope and pray that everyone who attended, whether working or playing, had as good a time as me. I consider myself blessed beyond measure to be involved in events like this, and to work with the people who make these things happen. If Friday night was any indication of the year were gonna have in UpStreet, then all I can say is......put your seat belt on, this rides gonna get wild! - J
