Bible Sunday for First Graders

If you weren't here with us this past Sunday (November 15) you missed a very special day! It was Bible Sunday for our 1st Graders! At 1BL, we love the Word of God and we Love our kids, and so we look forward each year to the very special day when we can put the precious Word in the hands of our Precious kids! First Grade is the year that typically kids are learning to READ and what better book to read that the BIBLE? Pastor Brent believes strongly in this as well, and so as a special gift from our church to our kids, we are thrilled to present them with their very own copy of the NIV Adventure Bible.

Here's a peek:

Psalm 119:12-17 is my prayer for you my sweet friends:"Blessed Lord, teach me your rules. I have recited your lawes, and rejoiced in them more than in riches. I will meditate upon them and give them my full respect. I will delight in them and not forget them. Bless me with life so that I can continue to obey you. Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word."

More Fall Festival Pictures

Here are some more fantastic pictures taken on the night of Fall Festival! I love seeing faces of those I know and many I don't know! It lets me know we are doing a great job of inviting our friends and neighbors and reaching out into our community! Thanks again everyone for your faithfulness!

Fantastic Fall Festival Fun!

Here are a few photos from last weekend's Fall Festival! 1600 people (at least!) enjoyed a beautiful October California evening, complete with great food, games, 2 huge bouncers, great music, and lots of candy! Here's Lilly the Cat!

Here's Jillian and Hudson! I can't tell if Jillian is taking candy away from Hudson or giving him Candy! I'm sure it's the later :)

Looks like little Carlie was pooped out... good thing grandpa was there to give her a place to crash while mom and dad were working at a booth!!

Part of the Gilbert Family having fun... check out those tats on Lisa... wow, Lisa, I had no idea!!!

And of course our amazing band! Great job guys!

Thanks everyone for making our 19th Annual Fall Festival such a huge success! We hope to see many of those who came to "visit" come back again soon to see us on Sunday morning!
