Recap on Friend Day

We had a very effective day of touching lives on Friend Day here at Beech Street.  The day began with our Small Group hour at 9:15am.  We encouraged people to invite their friends to attend their Small Group with them and we also encouraged our Small Groups to reach out to people. 

h2o student ministry had Kingsdown, a band from Little Rock, do a free concert during the Small Group hour, plus we feed all the teenagers a free breakfast of biscuits, gravy & bacon.  Over 100 teenagers showed up on a Sunday morning.  Kingsdown put on a great concert, we are still hearing how our students enjoyed the morning.  After the Small Group hour our students attended the Main Worship service at 10:30am.  (pictures below)

Our Children's Ministry had BOZ the Bear during Children's Church, 4yr olds-2nd grade.   They were excited to get meet BOZ upclose and personal.  He put on a program that all the kids enjoyed.  Many of them walked in Sunday Morning with a look of great anticipation, they were ready to see BOZ.

Finally, we had Dr. Grant Ethridge, Pastor of Liberty Baptist in Hampton, Virginia, as our guest Preacher for the day.  He preached out of Acts 2 and how lives were changed by Jesus.  Many people came down front to pray and some to make decisions.  It was a powerful morning of God moving in peoples lives.

Friend Day's are always exciting and encouraging to everyone.  They are a lot of work to pull of from but well worth it when you see what God does.  I look forward to seeing how God continues to use this Friend Day and the spirit from it in the days ahead.
