Harvest Dinner


Friday, Novemebr 13, 2009 - "The Harvest Dinner"
The Harvest Dinner is a special occasion celebrated each year at Humphrey Baptist Church. We invite all we can and have a big dinner. This year recognized our coming as their new Pastor and also many of the men who helped fill the puplit in the nearly three years they did not have a Pastor. It was a glorious evening baptized with a great amount of work by our dear people. From inviting to cooking to preparing and cleaning up - so much was done to make this night a success. We served almost 70 people!


My wife, Katie, as always, did a wonderful job of decorating and creating an enjoyable atmosphere by the pleasant surroundings.



Everything looked beautiful and well-thoughtout!





Nichole and Autumn were hesitant to get their picture taken, but were very helpful throughout the evening!



WHAT A SPREAD!
WE HAD SO MANY CROCKS GOING,
OUR POWER STRIP COULDN'T TAKE IT!


It was a blessing to finally meet Pastor Dean, former Pastor of HBC in years gone by. I've heard so many wonderful things about him and his dear wife.



Our fellowship hall was well on it's way to being packed and jammed!



There was a tremendous spirit among our guests!



Linda White and Heidi Good slaving in the kitchen!



My adorable boys and beautiful wife waiting in the loooong line for food!



It was worth the wait!


I spoke for a few minutes and read a poem I had written - "Praising God on an Instrument of Ten Strings" based on Psalm 144:9.

So many of our dear members worked very hard to pull off a wonderful evening. I was very proud to be their Pastor. I cannot commend them enough for all of their effort!
