You can’t beat a day packed with great preaching, every game you love, and a volleyball tournament all in one place. Farm Fest 2006 was awesome! We headed out of Oak Ridge late afternoon Friday and hit I-40 through the mountains of TN and NC. Gorgeous drive, but thats another point altogether. We arrived at Calvary Baptist Church in Simpsonville, SC and got our beds ready for the night. But, it wasn’t time for bed, yet. Knockout, Uno, Dutch Blitz, Soccer, Volleyball, and Football followed with a few breaks for a snack in between. We had a great night together and hit the hay (get it?? its farm fest… AHAHAH) for the night.
After an early breakfast, we descended upon the Farm. Our group of thirty competed in volleyball in which we won a few matches. We did the platform thingy…and broke a record, congrats guys. Everybody bounced around from carnival game to gazeeball to the arm wrestling platform where someone…who could it be … whooped all the girls. The preaching was powerful. Mark Kittrell really connected with 3 power packed messages. His last message on being ready for God to come was especially moving. Don’t forget the things you heard! And wasn’t it cool to hear all “our” songs sung for special music.
God gave us a great day together and we had a blast.
