Pancake Breakfast!

Wow! It was a crazy busy weekend! We all had to go back to work just to rest up. We're planning a large service project at the Nelson Children's Center this fall, and we have to raise all the funds for the project. So, this weekend we hosted our first ever pancake breakfast (times 2). We originally planned for the breakfast to be Saturday. We invited all of the neighboring Lutheran churches and were hoping for a good turnout. Unfortunately, our turnout was less than stellar. We were really disappointed -- until a marvelous church member wrote us a check for our goal amount! How generous! Even though we made our goal, we decided to carry the pancake breakfast over to Sunday morning before Sunday School. We were so busy! We far surpassed our goal, which will allow us to do all the things we want to do for the Nelson Center. Wow how God provides! Thanks to all of the people who helped with the breakfast -- especially our cooks! Applause! Applause! Thanks also to all those who donated to our cause. We are truly grateful. We're going to start having pancake breakfasts every fifth Sunday, so mark your calendars for the end of August!
