I just talked to Rachel and Katie, who closed out Thursday at the Armada Fair.
Over all it has been a fantastic 3 days. Results-wise, about 40 kids have committed to coming to the next MainStreet with their parents. (Have you seen the August one? Here’s the video)
In the past three days I’ve had a lot of amazing conversations and first encounters with non-believers.
I’ve also had a great time getting to know the other vendors in the Merchants barn. And in the quiet moments of the hecticness I’ve had a chance to reflect on the why we are at the fair in the first place.
My mind has been captivated by two primary biblical passages. I think they are the only biblical justification I would ever need to defend our actions. Not that we need to, but still:
- Acts 17:17… there is something very Pauline about presenting KidsTown in the Merchant barn. I love that our booth is surrounded by normal stuff. It’s how the church should be.
- Matthew 11:16-19… Not much to add to that actually.
Better than just being excited about this event, we have more to come. We’ve got a great plan for the Peach Festival and even something super cool for Halloween.
