Due to the fact that here is strength in numbers, we decided to join fund raising forces with three of our friends who are also adopting. We wanted to work together to bring 6 children home to their forever families. We planned a worship night on Friday September 21, 2012 that also had a silent auction and desserts. Our army consisted of:

I wish that I had more pictures to show how wonderful the night was, but I was so busy I only shot a few pictures as the event was starting.

This was the auction tables that we were so blessed to fill. We had a total of 63 items donated . They were awesome items that I longed to bid on, but that would defeat the purpose. |

Rachel and Corie were some of the worship leaders! I wanted to get everyone's picture, but failed to get that done. They really blessed the Lord by giving him the praise that he deserves! |

Our auction table with "shoppers"! |
We were blessed and we pray that the Lord was glorified.
Romans 15:5-6
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
