Our Fall Fest ran into a little meteorological trouble as we headed into the weekend. Normal October 18th temps are in the mid 50s. It snowed in Happy Valley last week, which meant a white & soggy homecoming win for PSU and Plan B for the Fall Fest. It’s pretty hard to convince people to show up for an outdoor worship service, face painting, moon bounce, and dunk tank when it’s snowing.
So we audibled at the line of scrimmage. The outdoor worship became 2 worship gatherings at the high school. The teams that thought they had the weekend off were called in to set up and get things running. They didn’t miss a beat. Worship with a combined team from all our gatherings was fun. The inflatable game thingie was set up in the worship room at our building, and by 1 pm it was warm enough to crank up the dunk tank. I’ll have to admit, I wore a wet suit for my time in the tank! It was still cold, but a lot of people seemed to have fun trying to dunk us.
It’s good to get the folks together for a little play time. We got to build some relationships, create some memories, and experience a little adversity thanks to the weather. All those things are good. They create bonds that are stronger than simply attending church together.
And based on Dan’s sermon from Sunday, we may be in for more parties in the future!
