Not One, but TWO Generous Donations!

This fundraising journey has been astounding.  

A man who is new to our church heard Justin give a little 

 talk at a prayer service.  

His name is William Stebe and he's an amazingly talented artist.

 

After hearing about our well project, he donated the beautiful painting below, of an African acacia tree.  

He suggested a $500 donation for it.  

It was gone within minutes of the announcement in church this past Sunday.  

Today I walked into church and saw this on the wall:

 

 I could not walk past it.  I had to stop and admire it's rich colors and 

serene feel.  The texture and depth of field are amazing.

Then our pastor walked out of the office and told me that Mr. Stebe 

has donated this painting for the well fund, also.  

We are blown away.  We are humbled.

For a donation of $900, you can own this magnificent painting.  

The pictures do not do it justice.  

The colors are deep and it's large.  

I'll post the dimensions soon.

Thank you, Mr. Stebe, for your generosity and your heart for Africa!

Second Parent's Night Out

Our next Parent's Night Out event has been moved to Saturday, October 15. We'll be offering a childcare option for people who are attending the Courageous movie that evening.  We will provide dinner, a movie, and games for kiddos while parents get to watch a movie!  We ask for a donation of $10 each for the first two children and $8 for each additional child.

For tickets to the movie or more information, call Celebration Baptist Church at 505.994.0430. The movie is supposed to be fantastic!

Parents Night Out

Octopus and Seaweed entree

Our first official fundraiser was last night and I don't know who had more fun, us or the kids!  We raised $140 with our sea themed Parents Night Out.  The octopus and seaweed dinner was a big hit.  We're now taking reservations for the next one, which is scheduled for October 14.
