A Great Sunday at Riverdale

Edit: Church at Riverdale starts at 7:30 on Monday and Wednesday night. Tuesday is election day and we will begin service at 6:00 to allow people to participate in the election night activities of candidates they have supported.

I am glad to report that we were all feeling some better Sunday. None of us are even near 100% but we are gaining. We were able to sing some Sunday morning and I still had some voice after I preached. Those are good signs that we may live through this cold/flu/junk yet. I know that some of you pray for our health and safety everyday and I want you to know we appreciate it very much.

We are back at one of the prettiest churches in America this week and we are super glad to be here.




Isn't beautiful?



And it is just as pretty on the inside too.




Saturday evening Kelly Jo slipped over to the corner store for a 4x4. What is a 4x4? Only one of the best sub style sandwiches in the world. We love these things!




Sunday morning we had a great service with a very good response in the altar. I am always thankful when folks respond to the Word of God. He knows what we need to hear. I know that the next three nights are going to be tremendous.

We really did not get that many pictures of our friends at Riverdale but I am sure we will have plenty of pictures before revival is over











We had a great meal Sunday afternoon with the Spencer's at Black Bear Diner.




Sunday night was a special night at Riverdale. They had a big birthday banquet for Sis. Spencer. She turned 76 years old and we celebrated it up big. They had a super fine meal and a wonderful pie auction afterward. They did a silent auction and then a live auction of 57 homemade desserts! Wow! What a way to totally destroy a diet!






Bro. Spencer and the birthday girl.





This was one of the desserts that sold at auction. I sampled this one and it was awesome!


Thanks Sis. Amber!







This is another dessert that I sampled. Red Velvet Cheesecake. Wow! Sis. Crystal Spencer made this. Thank you Sis. Crystal.




That pretty much wraps up a super Sunday for us at Riverdale Assembly in Riverdale, California. What a wonderful day with great friends. I hope you had a great Sunday as well.

View Out The Front Window November 2, 2014








Although we have posted everyday this week we have been doing as little as possible otherwise. Hopefully we are on the mend and ready for the busy weeks ahead. We made the move from a campground to Riverdale Assembly in Riverdale, California Saturday. We are supposed to begin revival here this morning and we are really looking forward to it.

Kelly Jo did fix some great meals while we were resting.



We forgot to take pictures of our view the last few days. We plan to be back there later in our California stay so you can see it then.

This is our view the next few days here at Riverdale. The BoggsMobile is well familiar with this view.

As you can see it has been raining some. It is certainly a welcome sight in central California and they could use a whole lot more rain. It has brought cooler than normal temperatures but the minor inconvenience is well worth it.

We have had some great times here in times past and we are looking for a great move of God this week. Thank you for praying for us. I hope you have a great Sunday.

Last Weekend In Review

Another Saturday is here again so this is Odie writing. I hope you all had a great week. The BoggsMobile has been the sick house this week. These colds are not welcome here!  Several that I have heard from are battling sickness too. It is no fun. I am hoping we are on the upward swing of things now. I have definitely taken advantage of our days off to rest and relax. 

Let me back track to last weekend. My wonderful friend Tammy Ferguson surprised me by coming to the dedication service. Thanks again Tammy for making my day!!  I am looking forward to getting to see her again this coming week in Riverdale. 




















Speaking of Riverdale we should be pulling in there sometime this afternoon. We are scheduled to be there Sunday through Wednesday and we will also be doing school revival during the day. It should be exciting.

It was wonderful to have Regan Morris here in California. We had a ton of fun and I lost count of the times we laughed until we hurt. 

Saturday evening after the dedication service Mom was kind enough to take us girls to Starbucks. It was a great time to relax and fellowship. 


 

Before the night was over us girls joined the party going on at "Grandma Cindy's" house. There was lots of laughter and singing. 




Sunday was another great but busy day. In the afternoon Emily, Regan and I had a great time just hanging out. As we say often we love it when our friends become friends. I watched that happen last week with Emily Burris and Regan Morris. I just sat back and smiled. Two of my favorite people are now friends. 


Jake and Miriam Rushing kindly opened their home to us!  They were amazing hosts and we can never thank them enough for their hospitality. Sunday night after church Jake made us No Bake cookies. I am a No Bake cookie junkie, but I limited myself to three. We had a ball playing games and eating cookies!




Monday was a sad day because Regan left us. It was so good to have her with us a few days and we hated to see her go back to Mississippi. Like Dad told you we did take her to see some of the awesome trees in Kings Canyon. You can see some of the pictures Mom took HERE. I am in awe evey time I see these amazing trees.  I will close today's post with my pictures of the Sequoia trees.
