What A Weekend!

What a great weekend! Saturday was Family Reunion time. It was so great to see all of my blood relatives. The food and the fellowship were excellent! Sunday began with a great Bible Class, followed by a wonderful combined worship service and then we all went to Valley View Camp for the 2006 Family Day. I don’t know how many were their but I would venture a guess that there were well over 1300 if not more. The food tent was filled to overflowing on to the basketball court. Kiddy pools, two of those huge blow up thingies for kids, face painting, dunk tanks, paddle boats, three legged sack races, pie throwing and eating contests…whewww! The entertainment lived up to our reputation of being, Music City USA. Roger Ferguson’s Mercy Beat Band, later joined by Jonas, of “Uncle Phil’s Diner” Fame, and boy can he play a Sax. By the way Roger has a new CD out. Check out his site. Bluegrass Gospel highlighted by Keith Lancaster, playing guitar, and Eric Bright on the Madelyn. Anthony Lancaster, Keith and Sharon Lancaster’s son played the keyboard and sang for a set. The entertainment was closed by “Through A Glass” Christian Rock band led by Jeremiah Barnes, son of Phil and Kim Barnes, Madison’s Minster. As we were leaving we ran into my niece Sonja and Lavern Vivio (better known as U-turn-Lavern, traffic reporter for WLAC 1510 Radio in Nashville), who at the top of their lungs sang Happy Birthday to me. Now that was a trip in and of it self. If you would like to see pictures from the day I have some posted and a few more to come. Just click here! Both of these events were held at Valley View Camp. Valley View Christian Camp is owned and operated by the Madison Church of Christ. The camp is located in the center of 66 acres of rolling Tennessee hills, just 35 minutes north of Nashville Tennessee and 3 miles off Interstate 65. What a blessing this purchase has been to this church and others churches in our area.
