A Snowy Wednesday Night

Just as we thought we were going to enjoy some warmer weather for a while, it started to get cold again. And you know what that brings - SNOW. Yes, everyone, we are in the middle of yet another snowstorm! We still had prayer meeting tonight even though it started snowing at 4:30PM. We figured the roads weren't slippery at that point, but boy, were we wrong! For us, church is just a nice, chilly walk up the hill under the falling snow. For others. . .tonight it was a slippery, sliding (probably thrilling too!) ride on the snow coated (and not yet plowed!) roads. Needless to say, everyone arrived safely. Though, the Panzanella family had quite the experience as they slid down Jerome Avenue! Of course their children thought it was great. :)

We will post some pictures of each of our separate discipleship classes that we have been having on prayer meeting nights. A while back we decided to go through the book "Won By One". We have four classes: the young children (taught by Coralie), the teens (taught by Amelia), the women (taught by Karen) & the men (taught by Dad). We have our time of prayer then get right into digging into God's Word and what He has to say about many areas in our lives. Tonight we were only able to get a picture of the teen class, so here it is.

HSBC 5th Year Anniversary Celebration

Our church celebrated its 5 years of existence this past weekend as Hampton Street Baptist Church. Of course we would have enjoyed every bit of the celebration if we were all alone last weekend, but what made it even more special were the people from sister churches who came to celebrate with us. The services were wonderful, the singing and fellowship sweet, and just the fact that we were celebrating the first five, tough years as HSBC was encouraging to not only our family, but the church family as well. We made it this far, and with some an enthusiasm and passion to continue to "run the race" we look forward to the many blessings God has in store for us as we faithfully follow Him. Continue to keep praying for our family as we enter the new year ahead of us.



Of course many, many pictures were taken during the weekend, and we hope you enjoy viewing them and getting a feel of the same excitement we had during the event.
