What a Week!

Working on the Set
Final Product
Worshipping with Terri and Mary
What a fun/busy/sleepless weekend we had as a ministry! From painting and building a stage set to entertaining and spending precious time with our new friends from Virginia. Speaking on behalf of most of the Basement team, sleep was NOT apart of our schedules this weekend. Tuesday night was our Halloween Bash and our first filming with God TV. Therefore, our entire team was put to work with so much to do and get ready for. Thursday afternoon part of our team gathered at the church to begin working on the set for the stage. They aimlessly worked every day up to the night of the service. God has chosen some the most dedicated, hard-working, self-sacrificing people to make Tuesday nights possible. We love our team and believe we have the BEST of the BEST....from security and nursery to Matt and the drama team. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sacrificing so much of yourselves and allowing the Lord to use you to make His purpose prevail.

In the midst of the busyness, we had some awesome guest come in town from Virginia. Terri Simmons and Mary Goochee , from the 700 Club, took off work and drove eleven hours to come hang out with us crazy Birmingham, Basement people. They were such a blessing, and words can not describe how much we enjoyed their company. We sent them off on Wednesday morning and instantly began to brainstorm the quickest way to get them to Birmingham....permanently :-). We miss both of them so much already and look forward to our next visit together. They pour much of their time and their hearts in serving CBN, and we are so honored to walk along side them while enhancing the Kingdom and loving God's people together. Mary and Terri, we love you so much and can not wait to see you again. Thank you for sharing your time and your hearts with us. We were blessed....to say the least.

And again, thank you to the Basement Team and Basement family. It is a privileged to serve you and serve with you. We love you so much!
