Equipping Our Church for the Festival
August 24 – September 13, 2025 · Milestone 30 of 39
Through the generosity of people who love our church, we received new equipment to support our festival and welcome our guests with warmth and hospitality.
From August 24 through September 6, the cooking equipment arrived: a new shawarma machine, two Blackstone griddles, and a deep fryer. These additions expanded our ability to prepare and serve the food that brings so many people together at our festival.
Our preparations also included three 20-by-10-foot tents, a refrigerated cake display, a beverage refrigerator, and a deep freezer for ice cream. Each addition helped meet a practical need—from preparing meals and keeping refreshments cold to providing sheltered spaces for our guests.
The photographs taken through September 13 capture these preparations and the generosity behind them. Every gift was an expression of love, helping our church family work together, welcome our neighbors, and share the joy of fellowship.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
