Those attending were welcomed by Friendship Sunday School Class
members in a blue topped shaded canopy and given a
nametag and a bag for prizes and pamphlets. T he first 200
guests also received a coupon for a free dessert provided by
McDonalds on North l4th as well as a pamphlet about Albright. We gave out
l05 other door prizes donated by Ponca City and neighborhood
businesses and agencies. . Jimmy Daniel brought his big cooker
and with the help of Calvin Golliver and others cooked up 400 hamburgers
and hot dogs. In addition a lot of our members
brought and helped serve our guests chips, beans, cookies and
drinks. The kids played on the inflatable, 'The Bounce" run by
the Kindergarten Class and Church Nurse, and the kids and
many adults also tried their skill in ten other games, run by other
classes winning over 910 small prizes. . There was a large pamphlet rack
of neighborhood agencies services to look over. We heard 9
speakers including our Pastor and Youth Director, YMCA program
coordinator, City Councilman, Ponca Police Officer, Bridgeway Counselor,
Pregnancy Center Director, Ponca Tribe Educator, and Ponca City Senior
Center worker. There was live and recorded music by our Men's
Quartet, Banjo Bible Songs by Alan Crockett, Canjo playing and our
Children's Choir. We praise the Lord for the beautiful weather and thank
all who helped and attended so that people in our neighborhood might
know that God loves them and so do the members of Albright United
Methodist Church . Pictures were taken by Julie Brown. |
