Vintage View Vednesday New Horizon 1999

I ran across a treasure trove of great pictures in our vast storage vault of archived vintage pictures. These are from the fall of 1999 in Wichita, Kansas. We had the privilege and honor to serve as Pastor at New Horizon Holiness Church in Wichita. These are some great pictures of many of the great folks from the church.

Man, these pictures pull at my heart strings. These were wonderful times.

The first batch of pictures is from a visit to Big Cheese Pizza with a couple of families. All of these kids are grown and some of them are married with children of their own.

The rest of the pictures were taken mostly at the first house we rented and in the church itself.

Odie is not quite 14 years old in this picture.

Here is a picture of most of the people that attended New Horizon in 1999. I think this is all but two families.

I appreciate this fine group of people taking a chance on me. It was a leap of faith on their part. It was leap of faith for my family too. I am thankful my girls were willing to follow me wherever I went and I am thankful New Horizon invited us to join them. 

Wow! I love these pictures. We spent nearly four years in Wichita and these folks are near and dear to our hearts. I will share other pictures from Wichita with you in later Vintage View Vednesday posts.

I hope you enjoy.

Taking The Tent Down In Amber, Oklahoma

Yesterday I posted a picture of the Dad's Root Beer I received at Crosslight Chapel for Father's Day. I received gifts from three other sources for Father's Day.

There were Bible markers and a pen from Amber Church, an Ozark Trails insulated cup from Landmark and a custom metal sign from Odie.
😀😀



Today I have a few pictures of the tent take down from Friday night in Amber. We had plenty of light to work, but it quickly became too dark to get good pictures. Odie did the best she could and you will find a few below. 

Before church on the last night of tent revival, Kelly and I do quite a bit of preparing. It always pays off in a smooth process after church. Having some one to help that has helped us before is a big plus, but if we are prepared then the take down goes better.

We had done all that we could do before hand and thankfully the rest of the operation went down without a hitch. I love that.

Friday morning I also tackled a small but needed trailer project. The top seal on the rear ramp door was coming loose. Bro. Forrest Shifflitt from Amber brought me a new seal and I set about to replace it.

The aluminum surface has to be cleaned. You know how that works for me, right? The old seal was half way off and the part that was still attached was determined to never come off. With a little blood, sweat and tears plus a few chemicals and various scrubbing and scraping methods and the surface was brand new all the way across.

I did not snap a picture of the clean surface. I was ready to get the seal on and get out of the sun. A few moments later and it was ready to go!

For the record, Awesome and a scouring pad worked the best.

Thanks, Bro. Forrest.

Here are the pictures of the chairs being packed away, the sound system coming down and the tent going into the trailer.

Another tent revival in the bag.

Thank you for reading today.
