Beyond the Grove - July 14, 2005

Thanks to Allison and Christen and the young ladies that came and presented us with Christ centered skits this past week. It was very interesting and very moving. Also, the Will Sledge Band did another great job in leading worship.

Y'all help out Milkshake Mandy with food service over the next couple of weeks. I am going to be very late next week and the out on Tuesday the 26th so she'll have it basically solo both nights. I just hope she doesn't bump me completely out of a job :).

Look for a Faith Radio interview on the Grove and Grove Fest coming up on August 8th between 4 and 6. There may also be some pieces of the interview between now and then.
