Check out the Pics!--Fall Festival and Reformation Day at FBC!

What a great weekend we had as a faith family!

Saturday night’s Fall Festival was a ton of fun.  There were swarms of people, lots of hot dogs and nachos and cheese, bunches of games, cool inflatables, and so much more.  The costumes were great.  Did you see all of those Bible characters walking around?  They would even give you candy if you guessed who they were!
At FBC, we value community—and seeing our faith community along with those from the Paducah community coming together for an evening of fun was great. 


Thanks to all who pitched in and helped make it a great event.  Whether you were a pop corn popper or a hot dog maker or a face painter or a booth worker or a Bible character or a registration worker and the list goes on—Saturday night would not have happened without you! 
 Special thanks to Josh Cornett, our pastor for children’s and family ministries who provided excellent leadership.
I remember walking around thinking “Now, this is the kind of church I’m glad to be a part of!”
Things even got better the next morning. 
We celebrated Reformation Day on Sunday by gathering all older children into the gym.  Martin Luther told his story of nailing the 95 thesis to the Castle Church door in Wittenburg in 1517.  After being interrupted by John Tetzel who tried to sell us some indulgences, we talked about the 5 important truths which we believe—Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone, and God’s Glory Alone!
We went out into the church commons and all tacked up our Theses on the door.  We then went back into the gym for a little Reformation party.  We talked about Luther’s words at his trial—Hier Stehe ich.  Ich kann nicht anders.  (Luther stuck to what the Bible said!)  And then, yep, you guessed it.  We ate Diet of Worms cake!  The cake was chocolate and had plenty of worms!
Soli Deo Gloria!
