A Wonderful Weekend

Wow! What a great day at Carmel Assembly. We concluded our two week long Missions Convention with Rev. Thomas Trask, former General Superintendent, as our special guest today. He did a phenomenal job as always. We had 470 in morning worship. The Choir did a wonderful job on the Missions Musical. At the banquet tonight there were over 300 in attendance and more than $43,000.00 in faith promises made for 2009. (P.T.L.) We celebrated God’s goodness in 2008 with over $175,000.00 given last year to missions and benevolence. Thanks to all who helped with the wonderful international meal which included: Chinese provided by the Youth Department (egg rolls, chicken & beef stir-fry, & fried rice), Mexican provided by Children’s Ministries (taco soup, Mexican rice casserole, chips & salsa), Italian provided by Women’s Ministries (spaghetti, chicken alfrado, Cesar salad, garlic bread), American provided by Men’s Ministries (hamburgers, hot dogs, chips & all the fixings) and an array of desserts provided by Music Ministry. When you add all the beautiful decorations, it was a wonderful night.

Well it is only one week until we leave for Israel. The excitement is building by the minute. Let me know if you have found the blog and what you think about it.
