Great Job Youth!
09/10/11
Our youth group signed up to decorate a horse stall at the 2011 NC Mountain State Fair. They won 2nd place out of approx. 30 stalls!
Rather than going extravagant, they chose instead to send a message. The booth contained one table and 1 poster sitting on the table. The poster read as follows:
Does your life feel void and meaningless, much like this stall? We could have lavishly decorated, and stimulated your senses. However, that excited feeling would have only lasted a moment. At Balfour Baptist Church, we are committed to showing you the only way you can find everlasting meaning for your life, through our one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. If you would like to know more, please take a flier and visit us on Sunday Morning. We promise your life will never be the same again.
We put two bible verses at the bottom, Romans 3:23 and John 14:6. We also placed fliers about our church and what we have to offer. It was only through God that the judges looked favorably on our stall. Now with a large Red Ribbon on the front of the stall, hopefully more people will be attracted to go in and read the message and take a flier. Lets pray that God will bring some of them to visit our church!
If you would like to go and see our stall yourself, the NC Mountain State Fair will be in town from now until Sept. 18th.
