Fall Festival..

Well the Fall Festival at the church was a huge success. Thanks to all who attended and for those that helped put on the Festival. There were many fun things for the kids to participate in. Some of the favorites appeared to be the petting zoo, the pony rides and the bounce house.

This weekend the Baptist Men are hosting their annual BBQ. Please swing by and check it out, the BBQ is great and the proceeds will go towards local mission projects. The last few years the church has taken a group of people to Mississippi to work in the areas still greatly damaged by Katrina. It is amazing to think how bad some areas down there still are, and that happened so long ago now. I hope to see you at the BBQ on Saturday. By the way the Church is located near the corner of Hwy 51 (Matthews-Mint Hill Rd.) and Hwy 218 (Wilgrove-Mint Hill Rd. or Fairview Rd.) you can't miss us, right next to the CVS on the corner.

Fall Festival - October 13th..

I just wanted to let everyone know that our Church will be holding it's 1st Annual Fall Festival. Here is a flyer that gives a general idea of what is going on at the church. We are located right next to the CVS at the corner of HWY 51 (Matthews -Mint Hill Rd. and Wilgrove - Mint Hill Rd.) We can be easily accessed off of Interstate 485 - Take exit 44 and follow the signs toward Mint Hill, once at the light at the corner of 51 (BP , CVS, Shell, Bank of America) hang a left and we are right next to the CVS.

We hope to see you there, should be a great time.

Garbage..

The Panthers were absolute Garbage this weekend, and here is a quote from one of my favorite defensive players on the team. He sums up all the fans feelings perfectly I believe. He also goes on to talk about how we are showing NO HEART, NO PRIDE. Get em Kris.


Kris Jenkins says "You all ready (clears throat)? All right, I’m going to be honest. I think the players owe the fans an apology. I would be as upset as they are if I had to sit in the stands for four hours and look at that garbage. I’m going to be honest with you. That’s what it was, garbage. "


If you want to read the entire quote - http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/2007/09/jenkins-blasts-.html

Here is another interesting article on the Charlotte Observer about every play in the game, and what Julius Peppers did (or didn't do I should say.) I just hope he gets over whatever is making look very ordinary.

At the very end of the game (yes we were still there of course) there was a kid screaming his head off (not sure exactly what he was saying, but it was funny) I just wish the Panthers could of heard him, because this kid was pouring his heart out.

PS. Panthers he had way more heart then you did

Mint Hill Madness..

The town of Mint Hill had it's annual parade and celebration in the park this weekend. My son and wife were in the parade, as JD attends our churches Play School as you can see in the banner. They are the one's waving, he had a blast participating in the parade. We were not able to attend the carnival rides this year, but it looked like everyone had a blast, and every year this event just gets bigger and bigger. If you are in the area you should check it out next year.
