SMASHING SUCCESS!!
OLIVET OPEN HOUSE
Saturday, May 16, 2009
Our Olivet Presbyterian Church was a smashing success!! The moon bounce, face paiinting, church tours, free magnets, craft, games, and of course…FREE FOOD…all seem to drive the number of visitors to our beloved church.
We now look forward to hearing our nominated minister speak on May 17th and holding a congreational meeting shortly thereafter.
To say the Lord is showing us the path would be an understatement. We are looking forward to continuing our Mission Work, and to be a continual vital source of inspiration to our members and the community as a whole.
