This weekend is rodeo weekend in Preston. A big influx of people come to town to enjoy the rodeo, the carnival and take advantage of the food court and street vendors. Our church has had a Lemonade stand for several years as a way of connecting with the community and raising youth funds. Many look forward to visiting our stand for fresh squeezed lemonade. This year we have decided to give our normally $3 a cup lemonade away for free. We want to communicate a couple of things by doing this. First, we want our lemonade to symbolize grace which is free. Second, we don’t want anyone to think that we need the community’s money to sustain our church. God’s grace is more than sufficient to supply all of our needs.

We will also have a float in the parade 3 nights in a row. This year it will picture the temptation of sin in the garden and the need for a Savior.

Please pray God will use our feeble efforts to further the message of the true gospel in a place overrun with religion. God continues to do “God things” here demonstrating His faithful love. Your prayers are vital!
