community outreach week


We had a great week of meetings last week at Berean Baptist with the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team. There were approx 150 visitors during the week, many of them unsaved. The men's night on Thursday was unique as we feasted on roasted pigs for our meal. The Pettit team started the evening with some "mountain music" and of course some humorous music like "I'm looking for a wonderful woman" and "Puttin' on the dog". After the meal, we met in the church for a brief challenge and the gospel was given. There were about 30 visitors that night.



Teen night attendance was down this year because of our "snowstorm" as the worst part of the night was about 6:00 pm and the service started at 6:30 pm. I was told about 75 teens came out anyway which is amazing because of the weather.

Pray for Steve Pettit's wife, Terry, as she is still undergoing cancer treatment. She was in Denver going through the drug therapy for cancer last week, and her flight Friday night to Atlanta was diverted to Nashville because of the snow. The airline then put her on a bus and she made it to Atlanta about 2 AM Sat. morning. And the team left Saturday to drive to Columbia, SC for this week's meetings.
