BIG BACK TO SCHOOL AND PET BLESSING ENJOYED BY FULSHEAR FAMILIES!
When the launch team for New Creation Lutheran Church gathered to plan a first public event, they wanted it to be family oriented and fun to re ect their worshipping community. This goal was achieved at their first annual Blessings vent held the last Sunday in August. ntire families, including pets, came to the Cornelius’ home on James Lane in ulshear to receive blessings for the new school year Teachers representing three districts were blessed. amilies with roots in cuador and Colombia were included, possibly drawn by the launch team’s previous experience supporting education for street children in Peru. Dogs of many breeds romped together, including one retriever who repeatedly jumped into the swimming pool. Thanks to a grant from ort Bend Thrivent inancial, there were hot dogs to eat and games to play. A large in atable proved to be the most popular activity. At the end of the day, children left for home with a gift bag, a Bible verse and a smile. All were invited back at a later date for New Creation’s first worship service with Pastor Dale lson.
